Deakin Estate Merlot 2001

Victoria, AustraliaCherry, prunes and compost mark the nose of this Victoria merlot with hints of licorice and floral notes. The entry is dry and round with some spicy, cherry, raspberry flavours and some earthy tea notes in the finish. The fruit is fine; the styling is tight and lean making this much more of a food wine than a stand alone sipper.Tasted: 09 November 2003Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
