I quite like this Merlot apart from completely over the top price. It is very nice fruity and I believe it would age for 2 to 3 years very nicely. Somehow the enjoyment spoils the price, which is quite high and not sure whether properly set.I can get much better dense juicy and jemmy Merlot from New world for this price.
