What’s it like?

Very good. Give it a few minutes to open up and it shows great tropical fruit flavours with good body and a long finish. There’s some subtle oak which adds a bit of complexity but also noticeable buttery flavours too. It’s a well made, very well balanced wine which actually became more and more enjoyable as I drank it. By the end of the bottle I thought it was excellent!

How much? Where can I buy it?
