Opaque core. Amazingly fresh, youthful nose. Quite intense and amazing concentration - it's like smelling the grape must! The palate is hot but equally youthful and concentrated. Considering this was purchased at a post Xmas sell off for ~£20? /bottle. I think this is an amazing buy! — 10 years ago

The 224g/l sugar rush may outlive my review of this wine. Fresh, youthful aromas - quince, candied (citrus) peel. The palate is viscous, concentrated, complex and long - dried Apricot and peach characters. Would happily keep 2020+ — 10 years ago

Beautifully clean, champagne character, the residual sugar masks some of the fruit but this is a delicious wine. — 10 years ago

Amazing colour - atypical depth and consistency from core to rim. Not showing the typical oxidative edge to the colour, textbook nose - violets, tar. Loads of oak (Slovenian) on nose but nicely structured and balanced on palate. Lovely to drink now to 2020+ easily. Such a pleasure. — 10 years ago
