This wine nicely integrates the fruit charm of Aussie merlot (with ripe blackberry, eucalyptus, and chocolate flavours) into a leaner, more Euro herbal and mineral finish. Mid-weight, sleek and tasty; a good choice if you like Aussie ripeness but find cabs and shirazes overbearing. Very good length. LCBO 53702
