Mollydooker, you said it all, in your face fruit boom, concentrated rich yet can be delicious in the right mood and with right food ;-). Deep dark purple almost black, this Merlot has a fantastic nose full of black cherries, cinnamon, cloves, oak, vanilla, black current, plums, all ripe and ready for a bite, full body smooth,full of fruit, soft tannins, round with a long ripe . A bit on the extreme front, but why not :-) My score 87,drink to 2018.

Big, intense nose of blackberries, figs, raisins, vanilla, cloves, licorice, oak, peppercorn and spices.
Full and bold with gorgeous mouthfeel, and great legs.
Extremely fruity and Jammy on the palate with black pepper, spices, brandy(?), licorice, blackberries, figs, vanilla, oak, chocolate, coffee, mocha and cloves.
Feels like it has some residual sugar, maybe off dry. It's just very fruity.
Long finish with round tannins and black pepper.
Excellent Merlot, best one I've had. Great sipping wine.
17% alcohol! What, What?
