2014 Vergelegen Merlot Reserve, Stellenbosch (6 x Bottle)
Deep plum colour with a ruby rim. The nose shows ripe fruit flavours, spice and a touch of chocolate. The palate is quite full bodied and rich in ripe plum and cherry flavours and alcohol. The ripeness of the fruit is balanced by fresh fruit acid and full ripe tannins.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2014 Merlot Reserve starts off with stewed plums and pan-seared nuts on the nose. On the palate, the wine shows more rustic and becomes tannic on the finish. This leaves me wanting more complexity and depth. The fruit is evolving and the tannins are too aggressive to enjoy without food, but the fruit condition seems unhealthy and about to expire. Drink it quick!
