2005 White Label Hawkes Bay Merlot
Tasting Note
Plums and blackcurrant fill the nose, with hints of cigar box and vanilla teasing the senses. Dark plums and blackcurrants again dominate the palate, inter-mingled with dark chocolate and some subtle cedar characters.

The experience is extended with a long vanillin-oak, soft tannin finish.
