MORE INFORMATION:
Opaque, brick red in colour, this Merlot is showcasing loads of ripe blackberry, red berry and blackcurrant flavours. Hints of herbal and violet aromas are folded in layers of savoury and dark chocolate scent. The palate is medium/full bodied, reeling juicy fruit, with a wonderful texture, fine grained tannins and a silky finish. This keen balanced wine has a long lingering essence or berries and mint leaves, leaving the palate gently.
