2019 Smith & Hooper Merlot

Very deep black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Aromas of blackcurrant gently infused with a mix of black olive and liquorice are followed by dusty cedar, tobacco and spice. The refined mid weighted palate features fleshy red to black currant and mulberry fruits which are underscored by dusty cedar, black olive and spicy tobacco characters. Slightly dryish finish with fine grained tannins and an elegant mid length aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 14.5%
