A Best Buy |
| Gold Medal winner at the New Zealand International Wine Show 2017. TASTING NOTE: This is very decadent and rich with blackberry, spice, meat and earth character. Full body, dense and juicy yet always refined and fresh. Classy. Needs a year or two to soften. Score - 94 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, July 17, 2017) |
