Hardy's Nottage Hill Merlot- Vintage Cellar Closeout Sale Tasting


Name:  Hardy’s Nottage Hill Merlot
Variety:  Merlot
Region:  South Australia
Country: Australia
Year:  2006
Price:  $15 (sale price: $4.95)
Shop Review:  “A wine made to maximize the attributes of the Merlot grape. The fragrant aroma of plums is complexed by herbal and spice overtones. The palate is soft with fresh fruit characters complexed by integrated oak flavors and subtle tannins."
My Review:  I tried this Merlot right after the Cope del Rey Merlot, and definitely did not like the Nottage as much as the Cope del Rey.  The Nottage Hill had a prominent petrol and dark berry smell.  The aftertaste was not pleasant, and there was nothing really redeemable or notable about this wine in my opinion. 

I tried this wine without food.
