Boschendal 1685 - Merlot - 750ml

On the nose pronounced ripe mulberry flavors play around with soft touches of vanilla and expressive dark chocolate richness. The palate follows through with plush mulberry flavors, but this time redder and vibrant, supported by refined wood tannins and finishing with a combined aftertaste of savory fynbos and very subtle freshly roasted coffee beans. An elegant cool-climate style of wine with intensity of fruit and length. Good natural balance between primary fruit aromas, color and structure extraction, rounded and integrated by subtle oak aging from larger 300-liter barrels.
