Merlot from Kopar, 20 months new oak, 14.5%. No. 3588. Fabulously deep and aromatic, meat, chocolate, black fruit, hint of tar; on the palate big, concentrated and velvety but with lovely freshness and balance, ripe tannin; excellent length, lovely oak, elegance. Impressive stuff. New world richness married to old world sensibility.

Very stylish, Chardonnay-dominated, ripe yellow fruit gives some weight to an otherwise elegant, fresh and mineral wine.

Lovely fresh bitter cherry character, typical crisp even sharp acidity, nice bitters, slightly almondy, good length, not great but very individual.
