HENRY OF PELHAM |
Bright light reddish-pink colour. Sweet, elegant, ripe plum-strawberry puree nose with some vanilla notes. Sweet (220 g/L residual sugar), medium to medium-light bodied, fairly viscous, bright, very attractive, fresh plum-strawberry flavours with a lingering finish with some hints of ruby grapefruit. Quite ready-to-drink. Similar to the 2011 (***) released on November 24, 2012 at $39.95. |

TASTING NOTE: A pretty and interesting nose that offers up strawberry-rhubarb jam, cherry preserves, marmalade and a wealth of floral notes that will put you right in the midst of a spring flower garden. This is sweet, but not cloying as the fruit flavours and the rush of fresh acidity add a tangy brilliance. Very characterful with an awesome, lingering finish. Well done.
