Wonderful perfume, wonderful palate, wonderful wine! Aromatic red and black fruits, spicy, plummy, with a leather note and a menthol, slightly tarry note. Finishes with fine dry, sandy tannins. The Wine Spectator reviewer was highly impressed saying “Reminds me of the 1989 Petrus - stunning Merlot”. Even at 17 years of age I probably drank this a few years early. One of the 1001 Wines.

Night 1 of the Fall WNH event in San Antonio. What a killer start to the extended weekend, all courtesy to Shawn and Jennifer for hosting! Tonight was Italian wines.
Dominant Merlot. Great depth. Extracted blackberries on the nose with new saddle leather. Bloodied plum and muddled raspberries. This is a beautiful wine! Nice bottle @Joe Lucca !

Dark Ruby in colour. Rich aromas of Blue and black fruits, ripe plum, leather and pipe tobacco. On the medium to full bodied palate there is ripe plum, savoury blue berry, spice and dark chocolate finishing with fine grained tannins. In a blind tasting I would swear this had a Cabernet component but it is 100% delicious Tuscan Merlot. To be honest there are not special examples of Australian Merlot and I need to drink more of the grape to become more familiar with its flavour profile, but this was outstanding for sure.

Very modern and ripe with a nose of cinnamon, spice and red plums. Good structure overall and very Merlot like. Decanted but could definitely use some bottle age. Not quite sure what I think of this wine. Maybe slightly overrated
