This is a wine that will show its best next to a slow-cooked roast. Red fruit and tobacco leaf waft up from the glass. A sip brings dusty red fruit, tobacco leaf, tomato, with a closing touch of vanilla. Tart rhubarb lingers. Tannins are a bit muscular, acidity lively. Drink

The nose is fascinating, offering tropical fruit in toasty pastry, roasted chestnuts, and honeysuckle. The palate is just as complex and curious, with guava, lime, toasted nuts, and hints of mineral and earth. Guava and chestnuts linger forever.This is a marvelous wine, rich, round, throwing waves of flavors and aromas.

Aromas of honeysuckle, magnolias, and peaches show on the nose. The palate is complex, as peach, nectarine, and tarragon dance around a mineral spine and salinity that will pair beautifully with oysters. Highly Recommended. 91 points.

The nose offers up blackberry tarts with a touch of nutmeg, with rich baked fruit and toasty pastry with hints of vanilla. On the palate the fruits turns from black to red, as blackberry morphs to black cherry, and the mid-palate shows earthiness and nuttiness, with lovely lingering fruit and
