WOW. Loved. And the people I was serving at a South African event loved. It is sturdy. This wine will support you. And not go away. It will feed you all the fresh red plums and raisins you need to stay healthy. Then such juiciness at large and then it will wave air on you ( in the name of medium acid and 14% abv alcohol) to keep you chill. Essentially this wine is a side piece. Keep it in your life boo,

2015 in 9/20. Cellar temp is a good thing! Translucent. Med body. Juicy black plum,blk raspberry!! Award winning balance. After trying in the Zalto burg and riedel burg, the riedel AP was the winner. Tannins were elevated in both burg stems.
Tannins are juicy, hanging out in the background, exactly where they should be to keep the wine perfectly structured. Fruit fwd, fresh and multi dimensional. Aromatically it leans old world but very new world on the palate. Could drink it all day long. Not sure how it does in its youth. PN, MER and some northern Rhone fans would dig this. KL 14%.
