Merlot from New Zealand - Hawke's Bay
Review Date : 22-Nov-2013
Dark, black-red colour, and a full, intense and bold bouquet with spicy, gamey fruit aromas of developed, mature fruits intermixed with brettanomyces elements. Still quite sweet and lush on palate, showing black curranty fruit, an open and mature mouthfeel, fading to softness as the animal notes dominate.16.5+/20 Nov 2013
