Winery Review: "More 'modern' with obvious coconut and vanilla vs lively berry and smoky / savoury flavours too."
My Review: This was extremely nutty on the nose, and I was getting cashews, hazelnut, caramel, and vanilla. On the palate there were these same nutty flavors with oak and spicy tannins. There was some heat coming from the long finish, but it was passable. The surface texture was gritty and coarse, but it added dimension to this wine. Overall, a wine that I would not seek out for myself again, but maybe if I tried this with food I would like it better. This should be taken with spicy Asian food or curry to complement the spicy component that was coming through.
