Rawson's Retreat Merlot 2002

South Australia, AustraliaRootsy, cola, spicy nose with some cherry notes. Dry, slightly lean structure with spicy cedar/chocolate, cherry jam flavours and some hot, rubbery notes on the finish. A bit too dry and reductive for an introductory style red. Where's the fun.Tasted: 29 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
