The Foreign Affair 2007 Temptress
This blend of 55 per cent merlot, 36 per cent cabernet sauvignon and nine per cent petit verdot is fermented with 20 per cent appassimento grapes. Displays aromas of blackcurrant, mint and fresh herbs. It’s a bit lean, tannic and green on the finish (perhaps a higher percentage of dried grapes should have been used). Cellaring for five years should smooth it out.
