This has somehow ended up on my everyday quaffing shelf. First sniff and I realised it was head and shoulders above that. Blackcurrant, earthiness, a touch of tobacco with depth and a reasonably long finish - that I suspect may have come about over time, although some reviewers said to get drinking it within a few years in 2017 and I am drinking it in 2020.
No, it’s not the most complex wine I have ever tasted, but it does have plenty going on and is a real treat with a steak on a casual Friday night. Very enjoyable and the quality shines through from first sip.

Possibly one of the nicest whites I have ever experienced. Buttery without being cloying then light fruit. Utterly smooth

Really delicious. Complex and interesting without overwhelming the food. Would love to find some more of this. Delicious and well priced.
