There really packs a punch – full-bodied with a hearty structure. The nose is very elegant and bordering on Pinot Noir, in style offering delectably lifted red berries and rose petals. Quite juicy on the attack, it is fleshed out on the mid palate, with a distinctive sappiness - supple and balanced. Serving in magnum eases the drudgery of frequent opening at larger gatherings and ages so well.
