Odedis.Wine.reviews Likes this wine:
Thursday, March 7, 2024 - Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.
Nice nose with red fruits, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red currants, cherries, raspberries, earth, black coffee, bitter vegetables, light oak, spices, dark chocolates and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cranberries.
This Australian Merlot is drinking nicely now. Earthier than I expected it to be. Feels like a blend of new and old world.
Showing a soft and plush mouthfeel, and a bit bitter once it opens up.
Easy drinking and better after a couple of hours of airtime. Changes every 30 minutes in the decanter. Interesting.
I had a few different vintages years ago, and it is a completely different wine today.
Aged in American oak barrels. Vegan.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$30.
