The inclusion of some very ripe grapes has contributed a rich, raisiny complexity counterbalanced by fresh, crisp fruit with a lively acidity. It's a very aromatic, full-bodied, almost voluptuous wine. On the nose you will pick up ripe stone fruit and raisins, underpinned by a flintiness. These same qualities show on the palate and they linger on the aftertaste.
It's a big but beautifully balanced wine that stands up extremely well to spicy foods. Think Thai and Indian dishes, as well as cream-based sauces and even fruit desserts.
