2002 Zilzie Estate Merlot

An excellent example of a Commercial Merlot. Very deep crimson colour with crimson hue. Aroma of mulberry, liquorice strap and spice followed by end notes of earth and truffle. The palate flavours are generous, with spice, dark chocolate, truffle evident over a layer of warm pepper, spice and plum. Fine grained tannins with long blackpepper, plum and chocolate aftertaste.
