Winery Visit: Centennial & Cherry Tree Hill (Southern Highlands, NS): {screwcap, A$60} A 50/50 blend. Nicely mature blend with – I assume - the same Merlot from the ‘Halle’ bottling bolstered with cabernet. It works better here, although it’s still fairly advanced; but there’s more of a spine to the still quite leathery flavours. Some chocolate & black fruit is evident too. Low/medium dusty tannins, gentle oak sweetness, medium length finish. Perhaps the best part is the even palate, without dips or holes. More cellaring not recommended.
