Medium to full yellow colour with a degree of oiliness in the glass. The bouquet is very varietal without being simplistic or bath-power-like. There is a nutty component possibly echoing barrel-fermentation, and the spicy, honeyed varietal fruit is complex, detailed, and rich on the palate. Full-bodied, intense and powerful with a long, resonant finish. The aftertaste has a little alcohol after-heat and phenolic grip, but it's all within balance. Excellent wine.23 FEB 2020 Drink 2020–2025
