Oh my gosh! How good was this. Pop and pour quite cool from restaurant cellar it started quite spicy and a little sharp. A few minutes later and a few degrees warmer, the wine just exploded with sweet and spice, and lovely minerality. It was also very bright and brisk. It went great with a true Bolognese Sauce.

Cool - still going! (even if not tremendous) On pop and pour, nose is very honeyed, with apricot and petrol, but mouth is more subdued and less sweet than you'd expect, with a long, still very faintly acidic finish, like a slightly underripe nectarine. Great with chicken satay.

Dessert Wine Extravaganza: Appealing floral notes and basically off-dry, but fairly short and simple. A very pleasant wine, but lacking in depth and length.
