"(2007) Marlborough. Special Italian must-pump that does not 'screw' the wine, but gently paddles it. 10 - 11 days of cold soak. Lovely big, fragrant charry, charcoally nose, with lots of strawberry and soft cherry. Good palate, with texture and a raft of soft berry and strawberry flavours, wrapped in a subtle sheen of vanillin and toast. Quite creamy and spicy into the finish. With lots of grip and savoury character."
