justerini & brooks tasting note
A winning combination of savoury and floral that take 30 minutes in the decanter to open up but soon turns on the charm big time. Slowly this reveals an elegant core of tea and mineral soaked fruit, fine, pliant tannins, sweet wildflowers, and fine dark berry fruit, with has a seam of gorgeous graphite like acidity running through it, giving the whole wine the sensation of seamlessly gliding across the palate as it it were on polished rails. Very lovely...
