title: Bernardus 1999 Marinus Estate Grown & Estate Bottled Meritage (Carmel Valley)
description: Opens with aromas of oak, mint, and herbs, with a hint of blackcurrant. Drinks fairly tannic at the moment, and sharp in acids. There is some berry fruit buried down deep, but not offering a plush, hedonistic experience. The finish is very dry and tannic.
variety: Meritage
