Tasting Notes
This wine was aged 16 months in a combination of new and used oak, of which 65% was French oak, 18% was Hungarian oak and 18% was American oak. This long aging rounded out the tannins in what is a textbook Merlot, rich and generous on the palate. It begins with aromas of spice and dark fruit mingled with vanilla. It delivers flavours of black cherry, blueberry and plum with spice and chocolate on the long finish. [This will evolve for another 6+ years.] Score - 92. (johnschreiner.blogspot.com, Feb. 28, 2022)
