"it's strongly regional and quite delicious"
Julian Coldrey, Full Pour
Year: 2009
Editorial: "It's one of those wines you can smell from across the room, and its character becomes more interesting and subtle as you approach, rather than simply becoming louder. On the palate, lots of everything: fruit, oak, texture. It's not a heavy wine, just generous, with good flow through the mouth. Flavours are of more ripe plums (perhaps slightly stewed), spicy vanilla oak and some chocolate. Just drink it." (2007 Vintage)
