Age has helped this bottling. The unique fig and smoky candle wax note shows clearly on the nose of the blend, with a touch of lemon grass from the sauvignon blanc. Quite full and zesty on the palate, with ripe green mango fruit, fresh dill and green pepper, and a dry grapefruit-lime finish. Very good length. LCBO 183715
