ITG dark opaque purple with a slight ruby rim. Definitely will turn your teeth purple. Floral notes, baking spices, berry cobbler on the nose with eucalyptus notes. M+ tannins, M+ acidity, M+ body. Not to be trifled with. Dark berries on the attack and mid palate with a long finish. Much better than I had expected and probably has 10+ years left with proper cellaring.

Pale straw with a tinge of green. Honeyed pear and lemon on the nose. Slightly off dry with M+ body (almost like semillon or viura) and M+ acidity. Lemon and tart green apple with long finish. Good QPR.

Very lovely. Lots of stone fruit and honeyed notes. Fairly viscous due to the the viogner.
