One of the best South African Merlot's I have had in a while. Amazing complexity and balanced oak integration. First notes of undergrowth, then dark fruit, then 🍒 cherry, plum blackberry leather. Wonderful way to celebrate

Soft like oil. Liquorice and ripe dark fruit. Rubber on the nose. Wife loves it, me not so much but.

Lots of black fruits. Coffee, herbs, brushwood, vanlla, creamy with bitters of expresso. Sweet touch.
