This is a heavily Merlot dominated wine, hence the high alcohol. The effect, though, is of a wine that is fruity and with a crisp edge of black currant juice. It is young, spicy from wood aging and finishes with a stalky aftertaste.

This wine is ripe, full of blackberry fruits as well as layers of wood aging. It has spice, juicy fruitiness and fresh acidity at the end. Balanced and ripe, it merits waiting to drink from 2017.

There is some extraction here, giving a dry character to this wine, but it also has enough berry flavor to act as a balance. This wine has a promising future but demands a few years to age. Drink from 2015.
