| Tasting Notes |
The intense colour of this wine hints at the intensity of flavours and aromas to follow. Rich, sweet aromas of Black Doris plum, chocolate, coffee and blackberry blossom initiates the enjoyment of this wine. The experience continues with opulent flavours of fruitcake, coffee and black berries, enveloped within a velvety palate.
Enjoy this wine with rich meat dishes, your favourite pasta or cheeses, in front of the open fire, but especially with your favourite person!
No fining agents were required to enhance this wine.

| TiZwine Accolades |
 |
| This wine has a smokey, forest floor style of nose with good fruit flavours and as yet dry, grippy tannins. As usual with NZ Merlot this wine will improve significantly for some cellaring. |
