5/3/2013 - pedwards wrote: 93 pointsFirst experience with Rhys and Wow!!! Decanted for 1 hr and the floral aromas and baking spices filled the room. On the palate a burst of red fruits and spice linger on and on with a medium bodied and beautiful mouthfeel. This is delicious now and look forward to the next bottle. Elegant and well made. |
