Sweet with a little spice initially, then fades out at the end for a smooth and easy to drink merlot.

I guess I am not a Merlot guy. This wine did not impress me.

Aromas of Black currant jam, vanilla and dark chocolate. Creamy mouth feel but a little too much acidity to be in balance. Long finish

Not a bad, but not a great wine. Didn't really wow me, but I did enjoy it.
