"A wine of great elegance, round and lingering"

“The nose is fragrant with thyme, licorice, red currants, and blackberries. A hint of orange peel. Very fresh acidity and lively fruit, with a medium body and fine tannins. A precise, long finish. Ready to drink or worth cellaring.” (James Suckling 2023)
