2006 Journey's End Stellenbosch Merlot 78+ Points

2006 Journey’s End Stellenbosch Merlot 78+ Points

Clear, ruby red, bright, slight brown rim.

Spicy ripe plum, fragrant, touch alcoholic with notes of sweet & sour cherries, complex, earthy, cedar and meaty.

Fresh good attack, ripe tannins, tight, but too much extraction, lacking Merlot flesh and lushness.

Short finish. This merlot have lovely aromatics profile, but marred by over extraction.

From now until 2012
