2001DelRiosMarsanne

Sans An outstanding wine with loads of body weight and flavour.The wine has been partially fermented in old oak.Bright straw colour.Lifted nose of spice and honeysuckle, followed by a hint of lychee and musk, which given time will gain considerable complexity.The palate flavours are mouthfilling but there is a touch of coarseness on the back palate.There is a hint of orange over a layer of honeysuckle, spice and musk.A big palate, with excellent length and persistence.Clean acid finish, followed by a very long spicy aftertaste.Cellar 2-3 years (2004-2005)Alc/Vol: 15.0%
