Leconfield Merlot 2022

An excellent Coonawarra vintage and a solo varietal Merlot which must rank among the very best made in the country. The vines were planted between 1982 and 1999. A deep crimson colour, the nose offers notes of plum pudding, cranberries, crushed herbs, hints of soy and sarsaparilla and black fruits. Seamless in structure with a fine line of acidity, the wine maintains freshness throughout and exhibits very good length, while persisting with intensity. Notes of coffee grinds emerge on the palate. Should drink very well for the next six to eight years. Leconfield always offer a top Merlot and this is one of their better efforts.
