medium/dark ruby, slightly brown rim. ripe dark dark berries nose. fruity sweetness led the palate, smooth and round, then fresh acidity, silky tannins, emerging salty savoury notes in the latter half, laced a little oak and cream. medium/light bodied, with good balance and complexity, medium+ finish with all integrated flavours.
medium/dark ruby, slightly brown hue in rim. moderate nose, red and dark cherries, subtle herbal and vanilla. very smooth and round in mouth, supple tannins, medium weight and acidity, superb balanced. all mild flavours but lasting long. elegant and restrained style, however, expecting more density.
13.5% Alc. BC 90, JC Lee 90. Shanghai IWC 2011 Trophy, Sydney IWC 2012 Blue Gold, IWC 2011 Silver, NZIWS 2011 Silver.
