Dombeya Merlot 2015

Tasting Notes

Nov 2018
This nose starts off with with a chocolately top note underscored with a touch of mint and a graphite tinged herbal note with a back drop of black cherry and dark red plum fruit tones aromatically. Medium fuller bodied this has a sleek texture with bright and juicy cherry, red plum and raspberry flavors supported with finer grained, firm tannins on the back end that offer some grip bringing this to a dry, focused finish with some of the savory, earth tones notes adding nuance to the finish. This is now starting to open up and should drink well over the next 2-3 years.

Brambleberries, deep blackberries, ivy extract and resin. It’s quite dense but very enjoyable with lots of juicy tannins and tangy acidity, lifting things through to the round finish. Drink now
4 Stars 2018 Platter’s South African Wine Guide
Glossy berries & chocolate in fruit forward 15, gets more serious on the palate. Good tannin base, firm, no edges, fruit ample enough for early enjoyment but the best lies ahead.
