J.Lim brought this bottle over to our house, believed she bought it from DFS. I had put it into the fridge for a couples of weeks already, so drunk it cold which dampened it’s aromas. In the glass, it was a medium, maroon colour.

Smell : Cherry, raspberry aroma with pine/oak/flora scents

Taste : Less fruity than Aussie or New World wines, liquorish in character, medium bodies with soft tannins.

After-taste : Slight spice and oaky finish
