2023 Merlot 'Levings' - 94 pts (Gary Walsh - The Wine Front) "...So good. I love it. "

REVIEW: 94 PTS - This is good Merlot. Plum, briar, Spanish black olives, dried herbs. It’s medium-bodied, but rich and full of savoury flavour, balanced acidity, plum and fresh blackberry, rich silty tannin, with a finish of excellent length. So good. I love it. (Gary Walsh - The Wine Front)
