The longer I sat with this wine, the more I was intrigued by how it would look with some good ageing on its side. And I suspect it will only get better in the long term, should you be able to resist temptation.
Aromas of oyster sauce, chocolate brownie and cola piqued my interest on opening. A loaded basket of dark berries, sweet blueberries, mulberries and sour cherries deliver a wine with presence and neat flow. Medium to full bodied, it's silky with fine flakes of dark chocolate and succulent soft spices that complement the fruit. Devilishly moreish tannins curl around the mouth urging you to come back for more, and admittedly, it's hard to refuse. Delicious now but hold.
