Tasting Notes
A deep brooding, dry red. Ripe plums and blackcurrant aromas and flavours are backed up with subtle delicate oak. The palate is full, luscious and rich with loads of black fruits and cedar oak. Abundant tannins and sweet fruit, typical of low crop Merlot frame the finish.

Scores
95 / 100"Medium red-purple; a thrusting bouquet with fragrant, almost medicinal, notes running through to red berry and earth. A powerhouse in the mouth, which takes Merlot to another dimension, with inimitable slightly medicinal flavours."
