Solo Wines Merlot 2023
R 871.00
From Joubert-Tradauw outside Barrydale. Includes dash of Cabernet Sauvignon. Matured for 22 months in barrel, 60% new. Red berries, plums, floral perfume and a hint of pencil shavings on the nose. The palate is rich and rounded, delivering succulent fruit, bright acidity and soft, silky tannins. There’s a plush, enveloping quality here, the kind that marks out the best examples of the variety. Alc: 14.34%.
CE’s rating: 93/100
