Purple Palate

Well, well. Hasn't Australian Merlot grown up a lot over the past few years? This one’s nutty, with plums and both briary and forest-type berries. Delightfully medium bodied, with soft acidity and long lines of tannin allowing the more luscious flavours to relax and be themselves. Positive mint lift through the finish which has a nice twiggy quality about it too. Could be approached in a cerebral or visceral way. Think it or just drink it, either way you'll come out on top. - JP
