This wine opened up with a very attractive aromas
of blackberry, wild strawberry, savoury spices, vanilla and spicy notes. On the
mouthfeel, medium bodied with ripe fruit and sweet oak flavours, fresh acidity
and fine grained tannins. This wines finish is long, creamy, flavourful and
wraps up with a little tartness and light tannins. This wine is very enjoyable,
made with a crowd pleasing style that represents a very good value. Strongly
recommended, score 90 points.
