Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 94
Sweet vanilla and woodsy spices on the nose before a generous, open-knit palate with a seam of acidity cutting through complex phenolics. Flavors of papaya, lemon curd, apple fritters and white flowers. Very textural on the palate and in the finish. Drink or hold.
