Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Merlot 2002

Medium red with a little fade. Funky nose, red berries starting to mellow out, some herbal notes, shows its 4 years of age in a good way. Softer in the mouth but a slight letdown on what the nose suggests. Fruit is clearly moving into a secondary phase. I wonder if this was picked too ripe and the fruit now feels heavy and a little flabby. Drink ‘em if you got ‘em.
