"The 2007 vintage scooped Gold at the Sommelier Wine Awards 2012: Deeply coloured; very classy nose with lovely rich cherry fruit, very pure. The palate has a wonderful silky texture, very high in quality and really unfurls like a peacocks tail. Mineral complexity adds interest and this is rounded out with very fine tannins on the finish. Gorgeous wine!"
