Protea Reserve 2011

Alluring plum nutmeg spic with a touch of licorice and the faintest hint/whiff of perfume - just a suggestion or a whisper. Lovely plum spice and blueberry on the entry. Cinnamon, spicy vibrance on midpalate. Plush texture with a long fruited, spicy finish. Juicy throughout with a twist of white pepper. Structured but gentle and velvety.
