Philip's Creek Merlot 2005

Olifants River, South AfricaTight spicy, earthy, low fruit nose but thankfully clean. Soft and fairly warm with smooth textures. The palate is dry with spicy, cherry, smoky leather and resin flavours. Smooth round, spicy, fiery red wine. Needs a big piece of meat to tame its dry tannins.Tasted: 18 January 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
