Intoxicating nose with aromas of black cherries, black currants, mushrooms, leather, undergrowth and smoky notes. On the mouthfeel, full bodied with lots of berry flavours, grainy tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long with flavours of black fruit and oak flavours all wrapped up with tannins.

This wine definitely needed a two hour decant, but first it was poured into the decanter using a funnel and a strainer to capture an incredible amount of sediment.  This a a tasty, flavourful, slightly rustic Merlot blend which in the end is quite charming. The back label suggests serving between 16° to 18° C. I strongly recommend the 16°C. Cheers my wine friends 🍷
