A generous gift from Tyson Stelzer, I was told to give this a good decant and seeing as I was sneaky enough to pour a taste from the bottle before decanting I can say with confidence that the wine needs & deserves it. And it’s a wonderful and cuddly wine for money, delicious and with good sensible structure.
It is a rich opaque purple black and it tastes like it. It smells of sweet spiced red currants, plums (stewed & fresh) and blackcurranty goodness all with a nice splash of vanilla and some chocolics. The acidity provides life to the fruit flavours and the rub of tannin at the end is well judged.
I’d heard about Mike Press wines, and this lived up to the raves. I’m reliably told you can cellar it too, and from tasting this I don’t doubt it. Delicious.
