93-95: Wow - been a while since I've had a Garden, and this Sophie's is it for us. Definitely would describe as joyful, bright, and rich. Some notes of eucalyptus on the nose, silky, chocolaty palate. Long finish. Really beautiful.

Very strong and punchy wine. So much of that peppery liquorice flavour etc you'd expect from a wine that's 16.5%!!!I would say needs to be drunk quite soon really.
