Community Tasting Note

  • TheGreenFrog Likes this wine: 91 points

    March 25, 2024 - Jane Anson rates this very highly. But I don't get it and I have tasted it many times. It is a well balanced wine with nice fruit, but it is rather light and has a short finish. Will wait longer in the hope that it improves (but seems unlikely), as is not showing signs of fading.
