One of my favourite medium priced wines and this one is no exception. I knew that it required a lengthy time to breathe and I gave it about 4 hours in the bottle.
That was just about perfect!! A light smoky vanilla nose and a lovely warm full smooth velvety mouthfeel, make this a great wine to drink for any occasion.
Buttery (almost creamy) on the palate, but with firm tannins and excellent length, I rate this wine quite highly indeed. There is a dusty berry tone to it as well that adds to a beautiful complexity.
Bought on special for $20 too, I should have bought more :)
