WineDiva's Review

Plush, chocolaty, smooth.
Plush notes of plums, chocolaty mocha, leather and licorice, with baking spices adorn the nose. The palate is restrained the fruit shy, tannins powdery and flavours are more earth and cocoa. Good acidity.
Pair: Camembert cheese and rich tomato based pastas, roasted meats.

Second review: Nov 2016
This organic Merlot offers substantial aromas of plumcake, baking spiced, mocha and vanilla, toasted oak and wild sage. The palate is more restrained, however, expect tobacco, pencil shavings, toasted spice and bittersweet chocolate. A serious wine with good structure.
