Whether you’re pairing it with a gourmet meal or savoring it on its own, this wine delivers an experience that is both memorable and rewarding.
Reviews
A wine with lots of ripe berries, verging on dried fruits. Full and chewy with ripe, round, chewy tannins. It needs lots of bottle age. A wine of steel. From biodynamically grown grapes, as always. Better than from barrel. Drinking now. 95 points James Suckling
