Sunday, December 18, 2022 - I wasn't convinced the first time, but this bottle was much more fun. On opening, it was a little fizzy and needed a bit of time to settle down. Citrus fruits and grapes on the nose, then a fresh but slightly sweet attack tasting really of grape juice with a touch of spice, then some citrus fruits and gooseberry, before a long, fresh finish, still very grapey. Less taut and biting than the normal wines, more relaxed and perhaps a little broader on the palate. The maceration does give a very grapey feel to it, which may not be to everyone's taste, but I loved it and will be going back for more.
