The Exhibitionist Merlot 2012
Limestone Coast, South Australia, AustraliaHard to believe anyone wants to drink this kind of wine but maybe I underestimate those who crave soft sweet red wine. Plums and chocolate with the emphasis on chocolate all with a leafy savoury underside. A sort of yellow tail meets inexpensive Argentinian malbec. Add some sweet oak and a warm finish and voila. A modern sweet soft red wine that needs the biggest, spiciest rib dish in the world to balance off the sugar. Not our cup of tea in fact I would prefer a cup of tea.Tasted: 22 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $19.00 | 750ml |
