Pegasus has crafted a mesmerising noble that skilfully negotiates the precarious balance between luscious generosity and taut, lively acidity. The complexity packed in here is mind-blowing, capturing every stone fruit and all manner of citrus, along with pear, baked apple, fig and spices of every kind. The seamless confidence with which it delivers such a panoply of flavour is nothing short of remarkable, yet within a carefully moulded and honed body of streamlined focus, tightly-defined acidity and deep wells of minerality. Without question, Encore is one of the great dessert wines of the southern hemisphere. $48 at Half Bottles.
