About this product
Highly perfumed with fine intertwined scents of stone fruit, dark chocolate, almond and cinnamon. A plush mouth filling palate showing many complex flavours from fruit to mineral is beautifully balanced with fine French oak and a soft but sure back palate followed by a long lingering finish.

A grand merlot in a regional sense, with generous plummy fruit, served by a waft of gentle balancing tannins, dried herb savour, bitter chocolate and high quality cinnamon oak, nestled nicely into the fold. Like a warm leather armchair to which one returns time and time again. Plush and expansive.

Classic Merlot traits and building character with age. Spicy plum, leather, old cedar, tobacco characters on the nose with balanced blood plum, black cherry richness and soft spicy length.
