Meerlust Merlot 2005

John Platter South African Wine Guide 4 ½ Stars
Deep youthful purple colour with a ruby rim. A typical Merlot nose with juicy plum and mulberry fruit, lifted spiciness and hints of dark chocolate and inkiness. The palate offers generous, ripe, pure Merlot fruit with refreshing acidity, structured yet silky tannins and pronounced length and minerality.

This wine is surrounded by a prominent aura of gooseberries and raspberries. Hints of mocha and peanut skins greet the nose, with an elusive sweet undertone. Promises of pomegranate and cardamom filters through on the palate, and integrates well with the fresh acidity of this vibrant blend. Even though this is a shy vintage, the soft, well managed tannins, underline the potential greatness installed if the wine is carefully aged. A smooth, full aftertaste at the back of the palate captivates the mind and cajoles you to pour a second glass. Well complimented with aromatic food. Alcohol: 14.5%
