yum! My brother in law ordered it. Typically I stick with white wine because I'm overwhelmed by reds. This was a big surprise. It was very complex but yet not heavy. It went amazing with steak!

Stramt, lite stängt.utvecklad komplex smak med smal av fat och russin. Antingen behöver detta vin luft eller 5 års flasklagring. För vinet har potential! Men lite kärvt just nu...
