Angus The Bull Wee Angus Merlot 2023

90 POINTS

Jeni Port - Winepilot

Angus The Bull invariably over-delivers on price, and this charmer of a young Merlot is no different. What’s more, there is the promise that it is the perfect partner with red meat, no idle boast with such a strong hearted Merlot at the helm. A ripe, dark fruited Merlot definitely in its happy place with black fruits, plums to the fore backed by a distinct, attractive earthiness with liquorice and spice. Ripe, muscular tannins roll through carrying with them some good drinking – or eating and drinking – pleasure. Top price.

Jeni Port - Halliday Wine Companion

The concept behind this wine is stated on the back label: it is 'red meat's perfect partner'. It's hard to argue that it isn't, not with the warmth and richness of flavour married to a muscular tannin structure that is more than capable of taking on an Angus steak or rich protein. A merlot on steroids, and yet there is real charm to its black fruits and plum, its spice, its licorice, earth and smooth, accomplished finish. Fab price, too.
