...a gorgeous nose of Christmas fruitcake, cedar wood, smoked herbs, blackcurrants and jammy cherries. It is medium to full-bodied, silky smooth, very sexy, complex and a total hedonistic, intellectual turn-on. The complexity and nuances that the Neipperg winemaking team is able to get in all of its wines is amazing. This is a beauty and a major sleeper of the vintage.
Very fresh and stylish, with a lovely bay leaf note pervading the core of red currant, damson plum and cherry fruit. A supple mouthfeel and lingering sanguine and mesquite hints line the finish. Wins on elegance rather than power.
