God concentration, though. Santa Rita Merlot Reserva 1999, Chile Nice leafy blackcurrant fruit on the nose with some spicy, herby complexity. Well balanced palate showing sweet spicy fruit and good concentration. There's a touch of leafiness to the nose. Opulent, exotic nose with ripe sweet fruit and menthol new oak notes.
Youthful palate has firm tannins.
It's a traditional, old-style producer. This wine shows a restrained, leafy, sweetly fruited nose with notes of tea and leather. The palate is unremarkable, with relatively firm tannins. A bit dull. A deep red colour with a brick red rim.
