TASTING NOTE: Brightly fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows ripe plum, sweet cherry, clove and floral aromas, followed by a silky-smooth palate offering juicy fruit intensity, backed by supple texture and mellow tannins. Beautifully composed and delightfully appealing. At its best: now to 2027. Score - 91 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Nov. 2024) Price $ 21.95
