Post House Merlot 2001 #16214

Winemakers Tasting Notes A strong nose of blackcurrants and chocolate. Firm tannins with an underlying fruit structure giving it a juicy but full finish. Drinking well now, but will benefit from a year or two bottle maturation. This has a rich, dark, ruby colour and a sensational nose that evokes roasting chestnuts and Christmas spices. Far removed from jammy styles of Merlot, the aromas here are of plum, cedar and chocolate, with cinammon and mulled wine notes. On the palate that dense, rich flavour continues, with toast and coffee notes flooding over the tongue, and bittersweet plum and cherry fruit. The tannins are soft and fine, which together with lowish acidity adds to a creamy, dense mouthfeel and warming character. Suggested food Combinations Serve this wine with red meat dishes such as Greek-style lamb, old fashioned beef and onion casserole, saucy chicken, pasta or pizza.
