I tasted this wine from barrel last year with winemaker Frédéric Picard, and at that time I thought that it had the potential to be the best South Bay Merlot to date. Well, I am happy to say that the final product has lived up to my expectations! Medium to full body; there is an underlying linearity and grip to the cherry, plum, cocoa, smoke, tobacco, spice and herb flavours. Excellent length. Hold until 2016 and then drink until 2021.
