Wine Without Wank - De Bortoli Premium Reserve Merlot NA

De Bortoli Premium Reserve Merlot NA

Made by De Bortoli in Australia.

A dry, still, red wine with 13% alcohol tasted on 1st Sep 2009.

Grape: Merlot

Quality: Below Par

Value: Okay

Cost: Usually between $14.99 - $16.99.

Looks: Bright crimson red, light to medium in body

Smells: A slightly porty tone, maybe lets be kind and say fruitcake

Feels: Light to medium

Tastes: I was looking forward to this wine after what I found with the Cabernet Merlot. However, this was found wanting by comparison. Porty and a little fumey, and slightly harsh, once you get through that this is actually quite a smooth wine which has a real mouthfilling shape to it through the mouth.

Possible retailers: Vintage Cellars, BWS, Woolworths Liquor, Liquorland, Dan Murphy's, Kemeny's, 1st Choice.
