Critic tasting note: (2012 vintage) "With a very complex, alluring and fragrant nose here, this has an amazing ethereal and fragrant character that delivers cherry and strawberry notes. The dried rose petals and dried, light toasted spices are stunning and captivatingly complex. The palate has brilliant focus and intensity as well as a shell-like tannin frame. It's assertive, bright and juicy with some real impact on the finish, but it's not heavy. Powerful yet precise. Drink now." - James Suckling
