Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer NORTON
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Dusty, cooked plum, red cherry nose with some vanilla notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, spicy, stewed plum flavours with a lingering, vanilla-mocha-sandalwood finish. This blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon is better than the 2007 (*+) released on May 14, 2011 at $21.95. CSPC 148155
