TASTING NOTE: A surprisingly complex offering for the price with notes of honey and beeswax, lemon zest and green apple. Above average intensity and depth of flavour. Frankly, this is a steal. Power and presence but also polish. Verve and freshness add dimension and elegance. An impressive find. Score - 91 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, June 2, 2016) |
