Tasting notes
On the nose there is plenty of spice and exotic fruit on the nose, set against a background of brambly, blackberry fruit. There is a soft and creamy entry with a rather more drawn out structure through the mid-palate, this wine has a lot of appeal. Delightfully aromatic, elegant wine that makes a superb match for a slow-roast leg of lamb with a rosemary and anchovy crust.
