With nearly 15% alcohol, I’m impressed with how well it integrates at this early stage. I can feel the oak influence but it is not inappropriate, even shortly after bottling. The nose first offers an abundance of pencil shavings, pipe tobacco, licorice, black currant and fresh sage while the front palate displays blackberry, black cherry, ripe raspberry and dark chocolate. The mid palate is filled with espresso coffee, fresh herbs, tobacco leaves and cedar. The finish is long and complex, spicy with white pepper and cardamon. Some extra time in the bottle will help to tame the tannins. Decanting is strongly recommended.

While it needs more time to rest and settle, it is obvious that this wine will become an absolute Rockstar. Big, bold and juicy: this Merlot is a heavyweight contender. If you like your wine lean and light, I suggest passing on this one. Dark plum, cassis, raspberry jam, cocoa and tobacco on the nose. The palate is rich and complex with blackberry, dark plum, bitter chocolate, rosemary and vanilla on full display. The long and spicy finish melts into soft tannins, announcing a very long aging potential. This wine was even better on the second day. Keep this one in the cellar if you can, you’ll be rewarded.

At the top end of the full-body spectrum. This is still young and up-front, but time will bring balance and softness to this wine.

The palate mirrors the nose effectively and also offers richness and concentration in flavours, but also complexity and length. The finish is spicy offering notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.
