Compare this wine to a 21st Century modern woman – she presents with charm, guile, a captivating softness but underneath there is a strength of character that will intrigue you and keep you wanting to explore her further. Deep, bright violet in colour with wafts of red fruits, mulberries, wild brambles and a touch of cedar spice on the nose. Soft sweet entry, medium bodied, and slightly savoury on the palate with hints of bacon. The refined palate is beautifully balanced with gentle tannins and subtle mineral notes. The true glory of Elgin is expressed in this elegant Merlot. An expression of its vintage.
