Carmen Stevens Wines Merlot 2021

91 | Sweet blueberry aromas. The palate is light-to-medium weight with moderate density. Faint char.

83 | Lighter, medium full colour; very savoury, quiet dried-out, oaky nose.

88 | heady, hot, red fruited, soft herbal tea notes, spiced and hints of wild bush, lifted aromatics, food-friendly tannic edge -- baked cherries and baked clay

93 | Open textured; raspberry and red cherry. Silky palate - alcohol seems quite noticeable - but there is an ease and unforced character to the palate.
