Rated by our members as:
Merlot is never a favourite grape of mine; and, as this wine is pre-selected for me I am encouraged to try it. It was definitely enjoyable, balanced and a good example of what merlot can do.
A nice wine , maybe a little dry for me personally but enjoyed it non the less
String flavours, good contrast with a meal. Tannic.
Nice wine, wouldn’t rush to buy another though. My partner liked it more than I did
