Details
Notes of cherries, plums and raspberries line a lively nose, following through to a full but spritely and elegant palate. There is an enduring combination of subtly and power with the rich ripeness balancing silky tannins and a lushes texture. This suave merlot is difficult to put down, even at this embryonic stage! Expect the finely-etched tannins to ease with time and become even softer and more stylish. Built to age.
