I probably didn’t give this wine the amount of time it deserved, but I knew from the first sniff that I liked it. Sometimes you just know.

It smells of plum, blackberry, Hunter earth, a touch of mint and roast beef. On the palate medium bodied with lively refreshing acidity, fine tannins and flavours of blackberry and earth. Good finish. Balanced, charming and lovely to drink - a great wine for the dinner table (and emphasis on this as a statement of approval).
