2003 Narkoojee The Athelstan Merlot

A relatively tight wine that will blossom with time. Very deep crimson colour, with deep crimson hue. Top notes of violets, followed by mulberry, spice and cedar. Refined, but tightly knit palate, with fine grained tannin. Flavours of mulberry and spice are dominant and persist into the aftertaste, followed by chocolate.
