Description
Aromatics of stone fruit with a nutty marzipan & hints of oak apparent too. The palate reflects the time the components of this blend spent in wood– with a broad, creamy spiciness that complements the peach, quince and gooseberry fruit flavours. Clean, structured and powerful, the wine is kept in check with an acid freshness. Lovely texture with good palate weight, the wine promises – and delivers – an elegant, creamy long and enjoyable mouthful.
