Winemakers Comments
With restrained aromas of pencil shavings, spices and cassis. The classically dry palate has a seemless balance between fruit purity and tannin austerity with a medium acidity. The oppulent fruit and elegant style of the wine perfectly depicts the 2010 vintage and is a perfect reflection of Waterfords terroir. The wine will steadily develop over the next 10 -15 years.
