Big & bold, blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate. Tannins, fruit and acidity are holding up nicely.

Clarendon never disappoints. Somewhere between a right bank and a Napa merlot in style.

Still bringing a great nose with fruit, light sage and figs. Really terrific example of Merlot that can still bring enjoyment 10 years on.

I would not have guessed this is Merlot if tasted blind. More like a good cab with 10-15 year age. Green pepper, fresh cut grass, fig, touch of oak on the nose. Green pepper carried through on the palate together with candied dates and spices. Earthy and polished. First time to try a Merlot from down under.
