1998 Stone Bridge Cabernet Merlot

Very deep dark crimson colour, with hints of brick red. Aroma of confectionery, blackcurrant, spice, earth and cowshed, but without intensity. On the palate, the fruit takes a back seat, and is dominated by very fine firm dry tannins, followed by a tarry earth back palate. The aftertaste is dominated by furry dry tannins. Cellar 1-2 years.

RATING: 72/100

VALUE: XX/5
