Tinhorn Creek 2005 Merlot

Had that last night with some sausage rolls while watching Planet Earth with the parental units.

Straight out the bottle, for the taste test, I was worried it had gone a bit 'over the top' - slight vinegar aftertaste.

However after letting it breathe a bit, it was just fine.  Now I'm terrible at describing red wines, but it had no tannons, which I was happy about, as I don't like it when my red wine 'dries out' my mouth.  It wasn't very 'heavy' or anything - it was pretty much exactly how I like my red wines - good flavour, smooth, but not overly heavy, or overly watery.

Fingers crossed as I type up about wine, I'll be come a bit more knowledgeable about it all, and at the very least develop some kind of consistent language so you know what I'm talking about!!!
