The nose on this Rhône-esque blend is more developed than the Western world. Complex apricot nectar, preserved lemon and frangipani aromas mix with nutty oak and Driza-Bone.

Its palate is as dense as Forrest Gump after going 12 rounds with Iron Mike Tyson. Ripe nectarine, mandarin and cashew flavours lead to a weighty, honeyed finish. Unlike Mr Gump, this wine doesn't have the legs to run much further. Perhaps a bullet jumped up and bit it directly in the butt-ocks.

Drink with Lieutenant Dan + peas and carrots + a box of chocolates.
