Full Description

Sourced from premium vineyards in the heart of Coonawarra, the 1990 Show Reserve Merlot stands as the final vintage released in Australia under this specific label.Benefiting from an outstanding, highly concentrated growing season, this wine was crafted to prove that New World Merlot could achieve world-class structural depth.Decades of careful cellaring have transformed its vibrant regional fruit into a beautifully resolved, velvety wine. It seamlessly balances autumnal complexity with smooth tannins, offering a rare look at a golden era of Coonawarra winemaking. Colour: Deep brick red featuring a translucent, mature amber-tawny edge. Nose: Intensely aromatic and tertiary, displaying a bouquet of decaying autumn leaves, forest floor, and gamey complexity, layered over sweet dried dark berries and old cedar wood. Palate: Soft, supple, and silky, offering resolved flavours of stewed black fruits, tobacco leaf, and earthy spice framed by perfectly integrated oak. Finish: Long, clean, and remarkably refined, leaving a persistent aftertaste of savory dark fruit and fine-grained, velvety tannins.
