TASTING NOTE: This round and ripe wine is already drinkable, full of juicy fruit and acidity. The structure is generous, with a core of tannins and dash of minerality from the gravel soils that are a reminder that the wine can age. Drink this delicious wine now, although it will be better from 2016. Score - 90 (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2015) |
