"The bouquet is fruit driven showing sweet notes on the uptake together with spice/cloves, and as it opened up it revealed earthy mushroom characters together with lots of coffee oak. Unobtrusive, fine, drying tannins combine with distinct fruit to form an ample-weight, solid wine with a supple consistency and agreeable complexity. The palate shows loads of coffee oak together with cloves, stewed raisins, slightly bitter chocolate and green herbs on the finish."
Rated as: "Recommended with *** for value, less oak influence would improve this wine, although many will love the intensity of flavour. Caution would dictate that it was drunk sooner rather than later."
MIXED WHITE DOZEN
With 4 bottles each of Big Fine Girl, Stumbling Block and Oakey Dokey – a very tantalising package!
