christopher.j.braun@gmail.com Does not like this wine: 70 points
December 13, 2020 - We opened the bottle on Saturday evening and finished it on Sunday night.
There are grassy or hay notes and a fruity finish. We didn’t get the tropical fruits, although these feature quite heavily in reviews. We finished the bottle on the second night. This time it was much better, nonetheless, the finish does not convince. It is slightly too much fruitiness for my liking.
It’s an ok drinking wine, but I would not buy it again.
