A very classy Merlot that needs time to fully evolve. Deep crimson colour with crimson hue. Medium body. Perfumed nose with mulberry top note followed by cassis, cedar and spice. The mulberry fruit characteristics dominate the palate and are supported by plum, spice and cedar. The flavour profile is refined. Fine grained tannins with mulberry spice aftertaste.
