    March 9, 2019 - Good start,nice and smooth with good fruit. After a while died out a bit and became a bit dull,would have scored 87 otherwise.

    October 25, 2018 - By the glass at the BA lounge, not a fresh bottle.
    A nice little surprise here and loved the restrained albeit modern and new world side. Granted has a big production wine feel, but still it's on the soft side, balanced and with a charm. Will not win and complexity pagents but will no dissapoint for the price. 88 but a good 88.
