1 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A splendid dark medium garnet with little bricking. On the nose: expressive perfumed nose with dark plum/cherry, currants,milk chocolate, baking spice, floral, wet forest floor, touch of roasted meat. Taste: silky, balanced, elegant wine that is singing at 20 years with dried red fruit, earth, chocolate, cedar, minerals, saline, and a spiced-tobacco-green bell pepper long finish. YUM! — 2 months ago

This is the reason I love Sauv Blancs from NZ - intense tropicality focused on passion fruit, grapefruit, citrus, and pear. Great with food and on its own. Will definitely be drinking again this summer. — 4 hours ago
