Other Reviews...
Chief winemaker Louisa Rose believes this to be one of the best Virgilius wines yet. It has high-toned blossom aromas; the palate is mouthfilling and unctuous without being phenolic or oily; apricot and almond flavours course through the length of a long palate, given texture from fermentation in older French oak.
