2014 Merlot (Museum)
Only 5 cases available! The vintage of the century continues to provide examples of superb wines, not just in Shiraz but other varieties like this Merlot. Lovely ruby/garnet in colour, this wine smells of plums and blackberries, currant spice and cedar. Bigger structure than the 2013 Merlot, this is now giving hints of the developing savoury, aged characters. As such this wine tastes quite youthful, with a solid acid backbone, fine mellow tannins, and with good intensity and length. As with the 2014 Shiraz, this wine is lovely now, but will also reward further cellaring. (Limit of 2 bottles per order) -
2014 Shiraz (Museum)
Six medals (including a Top Gold Medal) and 2 trophies, wow! In outstanding vintages such as this, some gems shine brighter, and this is one of those gems! Its youthful flavours are still present a decade on, with black fruits, cedar and aniseed aromas, the savoury aged qualities are just starting to appear. The palate still shows good acid drive and intensity, fine tannins and a core of black fruits once again just starting to give up their tertiary secrets of what it will be like in years to come. Will be worth the wait for those who can! (Limit of 4 bottles per order)
