The 2019 'Lyla' Merlot starts off with stunning aromas of crème de cassis and dark plums which are joined by dark chocolate, violets, spices and earthy minerals that all come together and burst from the glass. This continues to impress with its fantastic full-bodied texture that is structured with round and well-polished tannins. Complex and layered, with a delicious ripe core that extends through the seamless finish. While this certainly displays plenty of upfront appeal, it also possesses all the characteristics to indicate a long graceful evolution ahead.
