Solid, but fairly straightforward Merlot. Initially very floral, with sweet cream and vanilla, toasty oak, grape candy, and coffee bean. Modern-style, polished mouthfeel especially in early palate, one-dimensional flavor profile of purple/blue fruits with an obvious tannic edge, big midpalate and not much finish, but that's Merlot.

Some fruit, but remarkably velvety and a hint of vanilla. Delicious.

Delicious young wine. Very fruity and velvety. Some light notes of vanilla too.

Dark coloured wine with strong blueberry and violet flavours predominating leaving it slightly overbalanced.
