Pure pleasure. Rich black plums and vanilla, smokey mesquite. More than happy for everyone to keep leaving beautiful mature merlot on the shelf for me to find. Oh yeah and shout-out to @Ellen Clifford for inspiring me to pop this

Just a nice surprise. Extremely unexpected. Still youthful and lovely. Loads of new black fruit nuances and wood. Again, unexpected.

Sometimes it's difficult to explain why you like the wine, this is one of those wines. #Venge #Merlot

Revenge is a dish best served cold, Venge is best served at room temperature - it is a red after all. Very nice with good body
