Vinologist Franschoek Merlot 2021

An abundance of black fruit, dark cherries and ripe plums with whiffs of rhubarb, tobacco, mint and oregano make for a very complex nose. The entry is smooth with a compote of black currant, blueberry and prunes following through onto a focused mid-palate with delicate cedar and graphite notes from French oak. The wine is balanced with integrated acidity and a svelte tannin structure. Hints of dark chocolate, mocha and bay leaf linger on a fine finish.
