88/100 45

Strong dense, sweet wine with savoury and berry flav ours plus a power of (high quality) oak. The texture is rich, soft and warming. Whilte the wine does have a slight wild herb character it is certainly ripe and not overtly vegetal.

Tasted: May 2007   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $42 (~USD $32)
