Scores
93 / 100"Deep golden colour of a wine with some age on it. The bouquet is also developed and shows candied citrus peel and marmalade aromas, barley-sugar and honey, the palate quite sweet and intense with very good flavour, acidity beautifully harmonised and unobtrusive while it does its job. Delicious wine, fully ready to enjoy now."
