Tasting Notes - Redgate Cabernet Merlot 2001

Another decent effort from this normally reliable MR producer. Elegant yet full nose; nice blackberry and herbal notes. Tighter and less fruit friendly in the mouth; a touch astringent and tannic (only just) but the elegant fruit notes remain. To be fair the bottle had been open for some hours so likely to have been looking better earlier in the evening.

(Note to winery / distributor / whoever is responsible: stopping putting this winery into wine liquidation centres and we'll start buying the wine again.)
