Vintage: 2008
Type: Merlot
Country: Australia

This bottle, just like its older brother from 2007, is highly drinkable on its own. It did not disappoint at the Tesco Wine Fair and I reckon I will be getting a case of the 2008. Not surprisingly, this wine is a favourite of mine because it offers aromas and notes of berries, plums and oak plus a vanilla finish on my palate. It is slightly spicy, which makes me think it will pair nicely with marinated BBQ or a meat-based salad! Women, if you are strictly white wine drinkers, this one might convert you.
