TASTING NOTE: Aromas waft out of the warming oven, biscuits and such, then citrus and a palate aching for the party to begin ... a slight Cap Classique funghi-oxidative note emits and then, so much vitality ... Drink 2016-2018. Tasted October 2016. Score - 89 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, Nov. 16, 2016) |
