Rawson's Retreat Merlot 2001

South Australia, AustraliaMenthol, earth and spice aromas with a touch of Raspberry coulis, very similar flavours. A bit of stems, acidity and dryness in the finish. Less plush, needs a bit more fruit and extract. The merlot is new from Penfolds but it's not to our taste.Tasted: 10 February 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
