A full-bodied merlot with rich plum and berry fruits with an earthy complexity and savoury oak.

On the nose, is a complex amalgam of dark berry fruit, cassis and roasted cocoa bean, lifted by more fragrant aromas of cedar, sandalwood and hints of dried lavender and thyme.

Rich plum and berry fruit is lifted by fragrant spice, violet and liquorice aromas. The palate is medium weight and supple with a long finish.

An amalgam of rich, ripe, dark fruit is overlaid with beguiling, lifted aromatics including violet, sandalwood and cedar with hints of dried woody herbs. In contrast to these lifted elements, subtle notes of cacao, vanilla and dried currant bring a luxuriousness to the aroma and flavour profile. Structurally, the wine leads with beautiful fruit weight and richness across the mid palate, typical of good Hawke's Bay Merlot. This is a multidimensional blend that simultaneously shows great depth of dark, brooding flavour whilst expressing a haunting array of gentle perfume - the ultimate expression of great Hawke's Bay blends.

Claymore's biggest selling wine. Richly fruited and immensely appealing, the wine shows dark and purple fruit intensity together with toasted spice, violet, cocoa and cedar nuances. It's concentrated and opulent on the palate displaying gorgeously rounded mouthfeel and fleshy texture, finishing impressively long and velvety. 5 Stars, 95 Points Wine Orbit
