Flagstone Two Roads 2005

Intriguing, light lime green hue shot through with white gold. On the nose the wine jumps out of the glass with focused aromas of naartjie zest, fresh thyme and spanspek. In the background, a hint of cloves, nutmeg and wild mushroom. The wine seduces your palette with a texture of creamed honey, but the flavours are taut citrus fruit framed by a suggestion of toasty vanilla oak. An extraordinarily complex and satisfying mouthful.
