Blueberry, currants, plums, deep spice, pine needle, herbal and forest floor aromas and flavours. Medium bodied, ripe with velvety tannins and a long, savoury finish. 14.5% alcohol is well kept in check here. This is a very rewarding right bank and all Merlot Bordeaux, worth each penny of the $30. Good to go with herb and spice crusted tuna steak.
