Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 2023 Merlot – Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

Points: 94
Rating: Stars

Cherry, plum, olive leaf and oregano, cedar and tobacco, a nutmeg and lemon zest top note. It’s medium-bodied, quite savoury, nutty and earthy, a mix of red and black fruit, plenty of tightly-knit tannin, balanced acidity, with a firm black olive laced finish of excellent length. Quite compact at present with more to come. Nice wine. Drink : 2027 – 2037+
