This wine starts with intense dark-fruit aromas then layers on an oat crumble character. The palate turns more to fresh fruit tones, especially black currants and blueberries. It’s all laced with pancake syrup, giving it a very seductive edge. For the high ripeness level and full body, the structure is a bit lax, but there’s just enough refreshment to keep most imbibers hooked. Drink now.
