Used for mulled wine for a midwinter dinner, strong but not overwhelming cinnamon with touch of bay, star anise and clove. Will warm again tomorrow, belting 😁

Crimson, stewed fruits, cassis and liquorice on the nose. Minimal fruit on the palate; mocha and vanilla, opened up over a few hours, texture thin, and length not that impressive. Interesting wine and drinking well now but not convinced it is good enough for the long haul, i'll probably wait and try again in 1-2 years

Yellow hue, stone fruit, hint of tropical on the nose, well balanced palate, nutty lees and a clean long finish. Excellent NZ Chardonnay
