Zonnebloem – Merlot – 2010

Deep, ruby red colour; very attractive nose of dark plum, blackcurrant and herbal spiciness. The palate is quite full with a tannic backbone and dark fruit that is backed up by a good level of freshness, a hint of herbs and chocolate on the finish; quite Bordeaux like, charmingly tasteful and balanced - should improve with 2-3 more years of bottle maturing.
