Date: Thursday, August 5, 2021"Quite a richly textured wine with pronounced vanilla oak, but also stacks of pear and lime aromas. At once generous and very fresh on the palate, this makes a bold statement. Quite some power, but the grapefruit and lime freshness at the finish is invigorating. Drink or hold."
