An elegant wine that is past its best. A herbal, tobacco aroma dominates and although the fruit has faded, sweet plum and preserved strawberry still manage to make an appearance. Tannins are well integrated yet reveal a hint of greenness. A light-medium bodied merlot that was probably at its peak 3 or 4 years ago.

Tonnes of fruit and excellent balance. Tannins really held the palette out. Was surprised at the amount of sediment in the bottle - definitely drink now, it's at it's peak. Wonderful, full and mellow.
