Tastes: Wow. For some reason I have not really had the Seppelt top reds. On tasting this, I wonder why the hell not? This is fantastic. Complex, spicey, earth and pepper with a casing of fresh livey red berry fruit, and lovely chewy interesting tannins. Length is incredibly long. A wine of class and breeding that would make those of the Northern Rhone sit up and take notice.
