Limited stock, changing to 2012. Deep, youthful violet colour with a ruby rim. Intense dark fruit on the nose, mulberry & damson plum with hints of dark chocolate & spice. The full bodied palate offers generous, ripe, pure Merlot fruit with refreshing acidity, structured yet silky tannins & pronounced length & minerality. There is a core of juiciness, opulence & richness typical of the variety. 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc.
