Oldfield Reserve Merlot 2012

- 92 points -

Juicy, generous, supple.
Chocolate, spice cake and plums roll out of the glass alongside leather and spice and tobacco. It is wonderfully juicy yet supple in the mouth with generous fruit, mocha and spice flavours. It is wonderfully balanced and has a long smooth finish boasting sweet fruit and pipe tobacco flavours. 

Pair: beef, lamb, hearty pastas, stews, gourmet thin-crust pizzas.

About Wine Scores

What is a wine score and how do wine reviewers (I don’t refer to myself as a wine critic, I review wine, I don't criticize it) decide on that score?
A wine score is a numerical rating wine reviewers give to a wine based on a series of elements. Every wine reviewer (or wine critic) has their own method of getting to a conclusive number even if they use similar guidelines to one another.
