Karikari Estate Calypso Merlot 2017, Karikari Peninsula, Northland

Aromas of dark plums and compote, there’s an earthy bottled aged quality adding complexity and depth. Moderate oak lift with darker baking spice and marmite qualities. The earthy qualities are behind the drive and flavour profile on the palate. A dry wine with dusty tannins and medium acidity, flavours of plums and dark charry compote, marmite and vanilla spice. I find this wine to be ready now so best drinking from day of purchase and through 2024.
