Philip Shaw The Conductor Merlot 2012
Style: Mid-full bodied red.
Region: Orange, NSW
Tasting note: This isn’t your quaffing style of Merlot, this wine is serious stuff. Rich red berries on the nose, dusty with just a hint of menthol. Blueberry and peppery spice on the palate with grainy tannins and a tiny herbal edge.
Final Say: Don’t slurp, savour. $18.99 a bottle.
Score: 17 out of 20
