Description
Australia is not particularly known for their Merlot, but when they are as good as this one from our long-standing friends at Taltarni it is hard to understand why. A beautiful, limited edition wine sourced exclusively from single vineyard estate grown fruit in the exquisite Pyrenees region of Victoria. Delicate aromas of mocha coffee grounds with mint and plum on the nose complimented by a nice hint of cedary oak. On the palate, it is even more complex with flavours of smoked meat and spice, with a hint of aniseed. The palate is medium to light in body with nice silky tannins and good length. Awarded 91 Points by James Halliday in 2019, and if possible, it has aged even closer to perfection now. So the wine is certainly ready to drink, but will still cellar for 3 – 6 years. Serve it with a full cheese & charcuterie board, any white meat roast (pork, veal, or chicken) or simply a plate of juicy hamburgers.
