88 poiunts, Jasper Morris, MW, Inside Burgundy: "The brightest colour of the three, more crimson than ruby. Good red fruit mostly raspberry up front, a surprisingly peppery finish, but the tannins avoid rusticity." Tasted: 12/1/2021
Weather vagaries and Meerlust’s exacting quality requirements determine that not every vintage is worthy of our flagship red blend Rubicon. Thus is born, in rare years, our collector’s Meerlust Red 2019. The Red 2019 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aged in French oak for 17 months.

*All prices in bond* 87-88 Points Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Mid red, a little brighter. Some zest to the fresh red fruit. Still a little bit firm at the finish, but the fruit carries on
through. Some similarity to 2017 suggests Christine. The fruit returns prettily to finish. Drink from 2024-2027.
*All prices in bond* 89-91 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. A lighter purple colour with quite a refined floral pinot nose. This upper hillside vineyard stays fresh yet has added weight with global warming. The fresh limestone feel is well supported by red fruit, with attractive persistence.
*All prices in bond* 90-92 Points Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. A brisk crimson colour. The nose shows some juiciness of red fruits. Well balanced, not too tannic, though the
*All prices in bond* 89-92 Points Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. A mid crimson purple colour. The Epenots ripened well in 2021 and that shows in the nature of the fruit, discreet on the nose, but filling the mouth relatively well. Just slightly bitter tannins behind. Additional elevage may pay dividends here.
*All prices in bond* 91-93 Points Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. Mid crimson purple with a lovely raspberry seedless aspect. A little bit tighter on the palate, slightly more
concentration and though still entirely red fruit this has a darker profile. The tannins and acidity are in balance at the finish.
*All prices in bond* 90-93 Points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy. Bright palish purple, with a vibrant juicy fresh red raspberry fruit. Some tannins behind but they are refined and
not bitter and the fruit is genial. Plenty to enjoy here in the appealing style of Bressandes. A long finish.
91+/100 Greg Sherwood MW, A Fine Wine Safari. Never a wine to shout about it’s pedigree, instead it prefers to whisper confidently about it’s regal heritage.
Tasting Note: Its colour is a deep ruby red, showing garnet reflections while young. With its predominately berry-fruit bouquet, this wine shows the full aromatic power of these two noble grape varieties whilst retaining the freshness imparted by well-controlled wine making.
“…a spellbinding, timeless classic in the making” 99 points, Greg Sherwood, MW
