This was a label pick... It wooed me in like a lady posing in an Amsterdam window... I loved it, oak, fun, playful on the back of the palate.... It reminded me of the first time I tasted a wispa bar..... The baroness was shocked that I selected a wine on looks alone... You can judge a wine by its cover.... This wine found me wandering through the library of O Briens - thank god it did@Delectablewine Delectablewine

Sweet jammy at first, strawberry, peppery black currant, Then spicy, earthy, salty. Wild and elegant and harmonic alltogether. Such a complex smoothness from this rough, energetic climate and sparse, rigid land. Mineralic.

Opens up to spice. Nice attack, imperceptible finish.

Earthy with a little spice at the end. Holds up nicely with my spicy seafood and rice!
