Geoff Merrill Bush Vine Sgm 2016

Dark cherry, blackberry and earthy notes come forward initially, with chocolate, coffee and oak wood following, hinting at the depth of this wine. The palate is almost unexpectedly smooth and gentle, carefully offering ripe red fruits, chocolate and complexity beyond its time. The tannins are ?seen but not heard? and sit perfectly in tune with the acidity to provide excellent structure and a long dark chocolate finish.
