Laibach Claypot Merlot 2016

An iconic Merlot, first produced in 2005 for their international renowned Hakkasan restaurant in London. The name, `Claypot`, comes from the unique soils in which the vines are grown, allowing Laibach to farm very naturally and without the use of irrigation. Deep dark colour. Hints of toast, dark chocolate and peppermint on the nose. Full bodied with oodles of crushed red fruits on the palate. Medium to full bodied with good expensive oak and lush velvety tannins. The wine shows the typical Laibach terroir with a chunky lingering aftertaste with great complexity and age worthiness. Drink 2020 till 2030.
