How this wine feels

This feels full and velvety, with controlled grip and a fresh balancing edge. Fruit and florals share the palate with subtle spice. The finish is dry and lingering rather than sweetly plush.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
