GOLDWATER ESSLIN WEIHEKE ISLAND MERLOT NEW ZEALAND 1998
750 ML.
Dark ruby-red with bricking and mahogany hues, the nose very even, broad and full, quite mature with secondary dried herb, earth, cedar and savoury fruit aromas and flavours, and a distinct herbaceous edge. Soft and smooth textured, the savoury secondary flavours meld smoothly with the leafy elements, the palate indicating it is taking the drier path of development.
