De Bortoli La Bossa Merlot 2016
Smells like a solid, jammy red - a generous wine, pencil shavings and a smattering of vanilla. Solid start.
Palate not so sharp. A bitterness pervades, as opposed to the fruit one might expect given the aromatics. Ripeness understood given the level of stated alcohol.
Still, a rub of tannin across the palate. Look, it sits well in the mouth and is well poised. Mustn't grumble at the dollar. 86
