Words by James Suckling
‘‘Aromas of blackberries, bitter chocolate, nutmeg and herbs. Medium to full body with grainy tannins. Peppery, simple finish.’’
92 POINTS By Wine Pilot
“The floral prettiness of the merlot grape, rose, pressed flowers and violet, lends this wine considerable appeal, especially when matched to ripe, sweet cherry fruit, plum and blueberry flavours. It has a just picked freshness with perky, bright acidity that feels very much part of the Fishbone Blue Label DNA, finishing with a delicate spicy layer and lingering length.”
