  Picked this up on a close out in 2013 for less than $10 per. Stuck it in the family's drink bin and forgot about it. Been recently plowing through most of my petite crus with great results, so I thought I'd give it a go...what a steal! Nice balance and fruit... happy to have 10 of the 24 left for Me to drink.

  From 375ml. A youthfull pale straw color. Stones, white peaches and star fruit provides a beautiful nose. Lush sweet stone fruit coats the palate with nice acidity providing great body. The finish is long with a slightly sweet edge. This wine is still a baby and has a long life ahead of it. Great stuff!

  This used to be a really fun wine...it was my go to when I wanted a big glass of lush blue fruit. Sadly this wine is now on the decline. This was my sixth and last bottle. The intense fruit is starting to fade and the heat is becoming very prominent. I had never bothered to look at the alcohol level before, but because of the heat I checked the bottle and noticed that the wine was pushing 16%. The wine was a little disjointed with a raisin element to the fruit. What acidity that was there to balance the wine before seems to be nearly gone. This wine should be consumed ASAP...
