2001 Narkoojee Athelstan Merlot

A superbly scented Merlot. Brick red crimson colour with crimson hue. Delightful sniffing with notes of ripe mulberries, cedar and spice emerging. The palate has excellent length and depth with flavours of mulberry, dark plum, spice and cedar emerging, followed by a layer of truffle. Fine grained tannins, perfect balance followed by a long mulberry, truffle and cedar aftertaste.
