2017 Black Rook Merlot

A lifted nose of roses, aniseed, blueberry, blackberry and coffee beans. The palate is lively yet opulent with hints of crème brûlée, dark fruits, spice, licorice and structured tannins coating the mouth.

The palate is lush and inviting, with flavours of black cherry, chocolate and licorice. The finish is persistent, with notes of sage and spicy oak.

96 Points, John Schreiner

It counters that power with ripe fruit, but the longer it sits, the more intense it becomes. This is the one you toss in the cellar for an extra year.

94 Points, Robert Parker
