Wine tasting note: 1998 Longridge Bayview Merlot

1998 Longridge Bayview Merlot

1st Aug 1999 South Africa Table Red

Opaque purple.
Rich, confected nose of stewed plums - lifted and attractive.
Full bodied with juicy plum fruit and a tang of capsicum. Lively acidity and a long leafy, dry finish.
Very impressive, drink now and over the next 2 to 3 years.
