A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Bright yellow. Melon, peach and pear, hints of honey and succulent herbs on the nose and in the mouth. Fleshy and dry, showing good heft and a bracing suggestion of bitter lemon pith on the finish, which hangs on with good, gently spicy persistence. Drinking window: 2019-2022. Score - 89 (Josh Raynolds, vinous.com, April 2019) |
