Clever buying for Merlot lovers, check this Smith & Hooper 2022.
Sourced from Wrattonbully, an attractive choc mint presence has me engaged from the outset. Red berries and plums, tight tannins drive long. There is a scattering of cocoa that lines the length of the straight - nice! The oak makes itself known without dominating and a fine spice has the last word. It's really enjoyable stuff.
Drink to eight years.
