Tasting Notes
The nose of the Ribbon Vale Merlot is intensely aromatic, offering an impressive array of dark fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, plum, and cherry. These are complemented by a distinctive musk stick confectionery fragrance. Beneath these vibrant fruit aromas, the wine reveals earthy complexities with subtle hints of tar, leather, and toasty oak. On the palate, the wine follows the same profile with intense blackberry and cherry flavours, balanced by a firm yet graceful structure. The vintage is marked by lively acidity and firm tannins that provide both freshness and longevity. The finish is characterized by a touch of oak, adding layers of complexity with a nod to old-fashioned pencil shavings, which further enhances the wine's depth.
