2020 Merlot.

91% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc.

Bright crimson red in colour with a purple hue. Impressive perfume, with subtle notes of brioche and black liquorice underneath. It slides across the palate with crushed blue fruits and plummy richness, but with a flicker of firm chocolate laced tannins and fresh acid keeping vibrancy.

Approachable now, although rewards with patience.
