Plaisir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Paarl, Coastal Region, South AfricaCassis, cigar, leather, smoky, coffee, tar, gamey and mint aromas. Tight, dry, tart, lean tannin entry. Cassis, minty, cranberry, tobacco leaf, dried herb flavours. There is some concentration here but the finish is acidic and hard in essence asking for food to soften up the edges.Tasted: 11 February 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
