My first Aussie Merlot! At first guess, I would have been tempted to guess new world cab franc here...lots of dark characteristics mixed with some peppery notes. Still needed about an hour to really open up. After that, more bright red fruit started showing. I imagine this still has quite a few more years of awesome drinking ahead. Thanks, @Benjamin Keator !

Nice Merlot! Dark fruit notes and soft tannins. A bit fuller body than a typical Merlot.
