Worth putting down. More concentration than zip. Intense pear action with a great dancing minerality. Layers of mandarin and lemony cream. Great creamy mouthfeel. If you close your eyes, you can smell the eucalyptus trees from the property. — 10 years ago

Leather nose, rich and fruity with a zip on finish. Really enjoyed it. — 12 years ago
A spicy, woody one with zip to handle spicy food. Love it. — 11 years ago
Very nice. I'd guess most people love this wine, or don't care for it - with no middle ground. It's got its own personality. This wasn't in our top 4 for rosé, but would probably fifth. Wonderful bouquet, and quite a bit of zip. Would be awesome with trout or a similar fish. We had chicken. — 10 years ago
Slope Cellars: "A blend of three vintages, but the bulk of it is 1981. 40% abv. A beautiful colour, rich dark, gold. Viscous in the glass. Lovely perfumed aromas. Spicy prunes on the nose. Very elegant, soft, rich fruit. Gorgeous. Soft, brown sugar. Perfectly ready to drink. Tons of structure and zip and a very long finish. Orange peel note on the finish. Perfect. Orange butter on the nose, like as in crepes. Really aromatic! Cinnamon note on the nose. Great paired with Plumb Tart Tatin." — 11 years ago
