Gioiello Old House Merlot 2018

This is a thoroughly beautiful Merlot from the Upper Goulburn, with spicy plummy notes on the nose with an infusion of blackberry and prune. The palate combines deep intensity with a delivery finesse. A little dark chocolate, black olive and lightly toasty oak completes an excellent Merlot.
