Opened this wine at home over dinner. We have home cooked steak, chicken chop, roasted potatoes and sauteed mushrooms. A gift from a close ex-colleague.
Soft, mellow and short finish. Some berries, milk chocolate and vanilla. Nothing much to shout about.
Wondering where it got the long list of medals from?

Deep dark red. Dark fruits, ripe and alcoholic. Thick tannins, medium grained. medium acidity. A little jam sweet, some sweet vanilla and chocolate in finish.
An enjoyable commercial merlot with good quality, Generally neat structure but a little rough texture.
CWSA trophy and some other gold medals around world.
Ap 5/5, Ar 11/15, Palate 16/20, Overall 4+2/10 Total 88+/100

Decanted and aerated the wine which gave a full bodied Merlot. Nice rich colour with smooth taste.
