Divine summed up badgers thoughts on this sumtious red. Jilly went on
to praise the flowery taste of this true champion wine commenting on
"..all those lovely floral scents." "It's like sitting by an open window
and in streams the garden.." She naturally noticed the presence of
elderflower which is im****tant to the flowery taste, and finished by
prasising the "glorious...lilting honey quality. It is divine, I'm going
to be drinking lots of this.
