88/100 45

Tangy wine with bright cherry and plum flavours and slightly stemmy tannins providing a firm backbone. A strongly varietal wine with good weight and moderately complex flavours. Quite a sophisticated style that offers value at this price.

Tasted: Jul 2008   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $33 (~USD $28)
