- Perfume:marked elegance, unfurls an impressive array
of aromas. Impressions of fruit are first to emerge, with

black pepper, and semi-sweet chocolate; concluding the
medley are subtly pungent notes of eucalyptus and star
anise
- Flavour:The wine almost explodes on entry, with a profusion
of flavours and aromas closely mirroring those on the
nose. Alcoholic warmth and a crisp vein of acidity are in
mutual balance, while the tannins are emphatic, but
fine-grained and velvety. The finish seems almost
endless
