Give this a moment of swirling in decanter or glass until it unravels. When it does, it's an ever-changing specimen. The first thing you notice is a toasted-almond character- a smoky, nutty vibe that grounds the vibrant strawberry and cherry fruit. Then you notice the dried flowers and spice aromas: violets, roses, ground pepper, even thyme and mint. The palate is lightweight, ethereal, but, again, tethered by fine, talc-like tannins before it has time to fly away. Like this producer's other wines, Fusilier-the passion project of actor Sam Neill-is entirely complete and ready to drink now, but could also cellar for another five to seven years.
