Wow, this wine is great! I loved the oakey taste and smell. The colour was quite nice and refined. A lovely wine all around. Highly Recommended.

An excellent wine, though you will need to let it breathe for a bit to bring out its full potential. Also, I think that it is now in its prime to be consumed. The oak taste is superb and the rest of the flavours are well balanced and smooth.

For a wine that has won a lot of awards, this wine was quite disappointing. I found it adequate in practically every way with no real distinguishing traits. Perhaps the second bottle will yield better results.
