Fine, but I was a bit disappointed after its great rating and relatively high price. Too jammy and lacks the dry peppery edge I like. — 2 days ago

2015 vintage. One of the best wines I’ve had recently. Dry, well-blended, and sophisticated flavors. — 16 days ago

A lovely, rich, full bodied wine. Too sweet and syrupy when first opened. Allow to breathe for 24 hours before drinking — a month ago

2019 vintage is very nice, but drink immediately- mellows and loses its crisp peppery edge with 24 hours to breathe — 10 days ago

Had this about 6 months ago and loved it, but this bottle, from the same vintage, is syrupy and unappealing. It doesn’t have any of the vinegar or smell I associate with a turned bottle. Very disappointing — 22 days ago

No idea why this got a 92 from James suckling. It was fine, with a reasonable dry balanced flavor expected for the varietal mix, but it was nothing special and I would not buy again — 11 days ago

8.9

A nice blend of flavors. Not too heavy despite the relatively high alcohol content. Best drunk when first opened - loses its dry and peppery edge and becomes slightly too sweet with 24 hours to breathe — 20 days ago
