The aroma is complex and intense, showing lifted green capsicum, perfume, chocolate, savoury meats and menthol. It has a lovely, balanced palate with fine grippy tannin, fleshy fruit texture and lots of up front flavour. As this wine spends time in the bottle, more complex fruit and developed character will reveal itself from behind the robust structure.

Lovely cassis, some cigar box on the nose. The palate is so soft and seamless. There is still lots of primary fruit on the palate, but there is definitely some secondary, spice and earthiness starting to come in. As with all Merrill wines, its released at the perfect time!
