Avondale Jonty's Ducks 2008

CERTIFIED ORGANIC WINE
Lots of Blackcurrant, liquorice, with a hint of dark chocolate and ground coffee. This however is only where it starts. The wine has an explosion of fruit on the palate and well integrated, elegant tannins to support it. The layers of fruit and silky finish will leave you wanting more, whilst a lingering after taste makes for a rather attractively finish.
