Dark ruby in colour. Meaty nose of red and dark fruit, blackberry, red currant, cocoa, Maggi seasoning sauce and a hint of mint. On the flavourful palate the wine showed blackberry, black cherry, some plum, tobacco, some coffee, some dark chocolate and spicy notes, paired with medium-level acidity, med-lvl med-fine, well-integrated tannin, moderate heat from the alcohol and good length. The medium-complex wine was well-balanced and had good length. A very good, med- to full-bodied, easy-drinking Merlot that may be consumed now and over the next three years. Better on day one than re-tasted on day two. 88
