Claymore Wines London Calling Merlot 2010

The label for this wine is rather impressive. It harks me bank to the song by the Clash which I would say was a punk band back in the 70s or 80s.

This tastes more like a Clare wine than a merlot but I guess that is a good thing. On the nose there is mint and eucalyptus mixed with plum and chocolate sauce. This medium bodied wine has plenty of flavour, good length but not much tannin which is normal for this variety in Australia. There is a little alcohol heat from the mid-palate on so I would suggest that this should be drunk during colder weather.
