Knockout nose combines peach nectar, apricot and subtle smoky, nutty nances. Densely packed, highly concentrated and solidly structured, with a distinct botrytis influence to the tangy apricot, honey and spice flavours and a soil-specific element of iodine. The wine's pronounced sweetness is leavened by firm flinty minerality, solid structure and high alcohol , and the finish is strikingly long and fresh.
It's aromatic and expressive, with red fruit and herbs and unnoticeable oak. It's round and juicy, powerful and balanced with some grainy tannins. It's a wine that should do very well with food. RP
