Tasting Notes Medium red with deep scarlet hues, the Stamp of Australia Merlot shows intense fruit aromas of ripe plum and berry. Hints of chocolate with a spicy, soft oak undertone can be detected on the nose. The medium-bodied palate exhibits juicy and ripe fruit character balanced by fine acidity. A smooth mouth-feel is delivered through soft tannins that also give the wine a pleasant, long lingering finish.
