Tasting Notes

How this wine feels

This feels powerful and concentrated, but lively acidity gives the sweetness lift. Citrus fruit shares the palate with coffee, nuts and chocolate. It is rich, complex and persistent, with little drying grip.

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