Roy Hersh: A heady knockout nose combines strawberry, earthy cacao, and cinnamon essence, along with a generous undertone of sweet torched caramel. Succulent acidity provides balance, while this Sandeman manages to hold onto its fruit, albeit nearing the end of its tertiary stage and not long before heading over the far side of the hill. Intricate and delicate red fruits intertwined with mint, smooth and warming, it currently shows an additional level of depth and ends with a medium length but opulent aftertaste. I appreciated its grace and purity, but drink up soon!
