Wine tasting note: 1998 Longridge Bayview Merlot

1998 Longridge Bayview Merlot

14th Oct 1999 GBP6 South Africa Table Red

Even, fairly pale ruby. Closed nose with some minty, confected berry fruit and a hint of (French?) oak. Medium bodied and dry with spicy, cedar flavours, good acidity and a slightly astringent finish. Needs food. Good.
