Decanted 1 hour. Beautiful nose of coffee beans, dark chocolate, stewed black cherries, blackberry and blackcurrant. Palate is round, tannins soft and complex with unctuous lengthy finish. Secondary notes include anise seed, cedar box, and slight notes of leather. Gorgeous wine that would pair ideally with steak. Could have carried on for another 2-3 years with great potential.

This is an outstanding Merlot! The nose is pure blackberry and blackcurrant while the palate is vibrant,spicy with coffee beans and dark chocolate finish. Incredibly young though,hold for 4 years at least! Purchased with caution just 4 bottles at the winery, and now i'm very regretting not having purchased more. Pfaff.Belgium.
