Clarendon Hills, Brookman Merlot Vintage:2003 Layered with dark fruit andThe 2003 Merlot Brookman Vineyard (which saw about 40% new French oak) is superb. A strong case can be made that there is no better Merlot being made in Australia. It is a dense, thick, juicy effort offering hints of roasted coffee intertwined with berry fruit and chocolate. Medium to full bodied, long, opulent, and silky, it should be enjoyed over the next 10+ years.
