Winery review: This cuvée sees no oak with no destemming, and is bottled unfiltered. Big and full-on flavours – ripe sweet cherry, stewed prunes with spices, earth and wild herbs – the palate is full and ripe, showing great concentration. The dark berries fruit and gamey flavours are followed by chewy but ripe tannins
My review: Acid attacked my dainty nose as I tried to politely approach this wine for a little sniff sniff. This is not how a wine should greet a lady. In an attempt to become friendly, the wine offered a strawberry candy pallet. I was not having it. Completely off put by the atrocious greeting, I said goodbye to this wine, never to meet again.
I tried this wine without food.
