Our first bottle back from Bordeaux. Merlot delivered on the rich, silky feel. Cherry and date notes, with cassis.

The steal of the tasting. A Merlot that delivered and this needs to sit for a bit to really fill out.

Lovely fruit, refreshing acidity, lots of weight but not overly tannic, balanced alcohol, a pleasant but not particularly memorable experience

Medium deep ruby , quite narrow ruby rim . Quite a lot of ripe red fruits , blueberry , strawberry jam , dark cherry and spice . Quite round and sweet fruited on the palate , cherry jam , strawberry , raspberry and dried spice . Ok acidity and ok length, just balanced alcohol , quite fine sweet tannins . Would be difficult to put this in Bordeaux ! Drink now and over the next 7 - 10 years . From 3 litre.
