Tasting note
Mind-blowing for the price. This gorgeous dessert wine offers aromas and flavours of blackberry pie and dark spices. Pair with chocolate cake. Score - 90. (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Feb. 2, 2013)
Garnet red colour. The youthful nose is packed with rich and concentrated aromas of red fruits, predominantly red cherry and hints of plums and strawberry. On the palate it is sweet, well-rounded with medium length and luscious red berry flavours leading to a distinctively dry finish, balanced with fine wood-aged flavours.
