Smith & Hooper Reserve Merlot 2019 clos-larrouyat The wine displays impressive depthMedium depth, dark cherry red in colour. The aromatics of this unique wine are bold and rich, with nuances of panforte, baking spices such as cloves, warm summer fruits, kirsch and a savoury note from the French oak. The palate is fresh and lively, plush yet structural. Flavours such as freshly picked plums, mocha and chocolate. Savoury and supple with great length. This genuinely unique and interesting wine celebrates Merlot as one of the worlds
