Thelema Merlot Reserve 2020 Case

"Very few South African Merlots can compete with the quality of Thelema's Reserve bottling.
Serious, structured and glossy, this handles its new French oak comfortably. Fresh, detailed
and layered, with fine-grained tannins, cassis, plum and coffee bean flavours and a graphite
top note. Classy winemaking. 2022-28"

On by the glass in the wine bar and it's a very attractive drop, rich and quite structured, plush and long.
