Notes
From a single vineyard in the Flaxman's Valley. A bit of whole bunch. Now comes with a stupid DIAM cork, of the type that never fits back into the bottle. Silky smooth, spicy, plush and packed with red and black fruits, sage and dried mint, some grilled meat in there too. It's dense, but not heavy, with a beautiful set of milk chocolate tannin that coats the mouth, gently, fine and even acidity, and a nutty vanillin and dried herb perfumed aftertaste that carries very long. Beautiful wine. Fine and elegant, to use an over-used description. 95+ Points, Gary Walsh, THF.
