Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Series Merlot 2010

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOpen fruity cherry, saddle leather nose with pepper, tobacco and meaty black olive aromas. Dry, round, elegant, slightly lean but fresh with black olive, tobacco leaf, peppery, liquorice root, cherry, cedar and clove flavours. Warm austere finish that needs few years to round out. This will improve in bottle through 2017 but you can drink it now with roasted meats.Tasted: 18 October 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
