I agree, The Red is a very good wine which seemed to be more at peace with it’s self on the second night. I thought the tannin structure a little blocky though, but then again I don’t know much about good Merlot.
This wine reminded me strongly of the 2000 Bannockburn shiraz with the fruit profile…a very interesting style and one that I quite like.
The Wine Front is an award-winning wine website run by Gary Walsh and Campbell Mattinson. It is one of the only independent media voices publishing on wine in Australia. The bulk of the content is available by Subscription Only. This is the price of independence.
