Withington Mzoli Mandisi Merlot 2007

Medium deep purple with bright rim. Distinctly merlot on the nose with a load of ripe plum and dark cherry. Full in the mouth with ripe berry fruit flavours. Good body and lots of life on the palate. Hint of coffee in long aftertaste. Very drinkable now yet has some development potential. Easy to match with wide range of foods. - Dave Hughes
