TASTING NOTES

Powerful aromas of very ripe stone-fruit in the peach and apricot spectrum.  There is a Jasmin or Lilly floral note, and a baking spice element as well.  The palate carries massive weight and concentration.  Whilst broad initially, the sheer density of the palate components is impressive.  The sugar and alcohol cover the underlying textural elements of the wine but the overall effect is a wine of exception power.
