A medium colour with some bricking at the rim, reinforced with the spicy hints on the nose and the toast and cigar-box characters that come from time already spent in bottle. The clean palate is well structured and weighted with lovely oak integration and finishes juicy. Hancocks Family Merchants, hancocks.co.nz
