Violets and red roses are met with baked clay and tobacco pouches. A hint of pomegranate molasses and inky mulberry stained hands. Potent with soft pillowy tannins, the wine fills the mouth with black and blue fruit and leans to a plump middle palate of juicy flavour with some cedar spice on the finish. Immediately enjoyable and a wine for bringing over to a friend’s house, spontaneous and uninvited enjoyment. Share with beef Char Kway Teow noodles.
