Tasting Notes
Veritas 2005 - Bronze
Typical Darling Sauvignon aromas on the nose with passion fruit, nettles and guava the dominating flavours. These, together with hints of grassiness, are carried through generously to the palate with a zesty long and lingering aftertaste.
Ageing Potential
Drink within 2 years of vintage.
