About the wine
Tasting notes
An historically warm vintage has resulted in slightly lighter on its feet Retrospect. Classic structure, length and depth from the chalk heavy clay soils combines with florals of rose petal, red, blue and black fruits, and a hint of Middle Eastern spice. Silky tannins and a line of citrus like acidity lead to an energetic and long finish.

Expert review
Gorgeous aromas of dried strawberry and cedar with some dried flowers follow through to a full body with fine and polished tannins that give the wine tension and focus. Velvety tannins with a creamy finish. Spicy, chocolatey and nutty in the finish. Sexy and seductive
