Taylors Estate Merlot 2012

Shows good varietal character. Leafy, bay a bit dusty. Seems more savoury - less about fruit, although that said, plummy spice does show and reveal itself.

Palate lets it down a bit: thin, yet smooth, touch of drying and chalky tannin. Not out of place, just lacking presence. 87 - Average
