TASTING NOTES

Allen Meadows :  "A generously oaky nose brings out aromas of vanilla, spice, almond and apricot. The flavours are rich and silky and remain quite powerful on the rather mineral and lemony finish. This is a wine that can be drunk fairly early on, but will also age very well in the cellar."
