2002 Paul Osicka Merlot

A disappointing wine. Bright brick red crimson colour with brick red hue. The nose displays a touch of tea leaf, followed by stewed plum, mocha, liquorice and old leather. The tannins are dry and chalky and overwhelm the fruit. Flavours of tea leaf and mint with the dry chalky tannins continuing to dominate.
