Description: The wine is full-bodied with a soft round oily texture with flavours of Turkish delight and perfumed rose petal. It is rich and intense with good balance and impressive length of flavour.

Jancis Robinson: Tasted March 2009 - Neutral nose and then a strongly oily musk note and quite a bit of richness though it's not sickly. A powerful wine with a savoury undertow. Relatively ambitious. Serious stuff.

Bob Campbell MW , bobswinereviews.com, 94pts - "Lovely wine with an appealing pungent aroma and wonderful fruit purity. Quite complex with classic rose petal/Turkish delight characters plus anise, ginger and exotic Oriental spices. Absolutely silken-textured. "
