Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Chris rated this wine as 1/100
This Merlot offers a lovely, rich and fruity nose of ripe cherries along with woody and spicy notes. There’s even a hint of eucalyptus. On the palate there’s some more woodiness and vanilla under the ripe fruit. Tannins and acidity are both high, but well balanced. There’s a terrific fresh finish of red berry fruit. AMcG
