Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
PEPPER TREE |
Very herbaceous, eucalyptus-driven, spicy, baked plum nose. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, intense, spicy, peppery, herbal, baked plum-cherry-apple flavours with a lingering, cedary, high acid finish. Definitely not my style of Merlot. Has 14% alcohol and 4 g/L residual sugar with lot number 20161542 on the back label. Screwcap closure. |

TASTING NOTE: While the wine is no more than medium-bodied, it has life and lift that immediately grab attention, allied with a seductive mix of red and blackcurrant fruit, oak spice and dried bay leaf. Even the tannins are warm and inviting, the finish leaving the mouth in a good frame of mind. A surprise packet in every way. Drink By: 2024. Special Value.
