Details
This Merlot displays delightful red berry fruits, cassis and violets on the nose with underlying mineral notes. The elegant, soft fruit follows onto the palate revealing luscious raspberries and cherries interlaced with a hint of chocolate. Well integrated tannins imparted from 16 months maturation in French oak barrels gives the wine a well balanced mouth feel and lingering finish.
This wine will benefit from further bottle maturation.
