Nose of mint and blackcurrant with a hint of olives. Palette is blackcurrant. blueberries and cinnamon but finishes a bit green. Maybe just needs more time to integrate but the green finish isn't the best.

2 hour decant. This is a well made Cabernet Merlot. It is integrated and mouth filling. Tannins in check with a medium long finish. Very enjoyable. Drink now to 2020.

very good on the first night but much better on the second the tannin softened nicely overnight and became silky smooth and the dark fruit benefited greatly brilliant VFM from a reputable producer who displays great consistency in quality with their entry level wine punches well above its weight

A bit flat to begin, needed 30 mins of air, then excellent. Serious, this. Drank with GGCCC, wasn't taking notes and not ideal tasting conditions. 91 or (quite likely) better.
