This wine is delicious. It has berry and mint on the nose, the mouthfeel is rounded with lush blueberries, mid palate has hints of mint and pepper. The finish is short with brief acidity and urges another dram.

Excellent. Probably because I paired it with my awesome mushroom risotto.

Blackcurrant, spice, full bodied for merlo, smokey and dry. A bit too alcoholic
