Tasting Notes for Maestro Merlot 2002 75cl:
This wine balances the rich ripe Merlot fruit characters of top Californian styles with the leaner more structured style of Bordeaux. It neatly treads the line between blockbuster and over-refinement, with the fruit cake aromas, mouthwatering acidity, layers of silky tannins and structure which are classic hallmarks of the variety.
Press Coverage:
Screwcapped. There's a wilder, earthier, more herbal nose here, with lots of cedar and earthy berry fruit beneath. On the palate there's a fine depth and weight of fruit, with a silkiness to the texture, juicy blackberry tartness and then a caressing, plush tannic core dominates in a pure, clean finish.

Producer Information:
Scottish Baron, exile from the House of Lords and former racing driver, Robin Tedder MW is an evangelist for New South Wales' wines. As you might expect Hunter Valley Shiraz and Semillon are his twin passions and ten minutes in his company is all you need to be convinced of their greatness. Future Glenguin projects to look out for include a Glengoyne malt whisky finished in Robin's Shiraz barrels and some very exciting Tannat from a maturing vineyard planted in 1997.
