Vondeling Wines Barrel Selection Merlot 2020

89 | Blueberry fruits. The palate is medium bodied with a savoury tannin finish.

93 | Tobacco, plummy savoury and dried leafy/dried herbal. Very drying tannins. Good wine, complex flavour.

87 | leafy herbal sage and fern red cherry and UR plums--- pushed too far. more varietal focus and precision and my score goes higher

93 | The oddest aroma - smells like an ashtray. But there is plenty of sweet fruit underlying. Concentration and silky ripe tannins
