6/19/2022 - michael talbot Likes this wine: 93 pointsJumped out of the glass nice and fresh immediately upon pouring. Improved over the next few hours. Perfect medium weight wine. Wanted a lamb/feta/mushroom dish or similar to be a match in heaven. |

4/26/2022 - michael talbot Likes this wine: 85 pointsCork ok. Colour ok. Warm nose. Settled in the glass after 1/2 an hour becoming friendly and open. Smashed a pairing with cheddar. Probably should score it higher, esp as fruit more obvious once it settled in the glass. Drink now, but dont be surprised it it comfortably drinks for another 5+ years. |
