Interesting. Alcohol is a bit prominent, oak a bit pronounced and there's a very evident lactic quality to it. The grape's usual delicate jasmine tea aromatics are a bit muted amidst all the richness. Which all sounds like pejoratives but, in the end, the wine itself is voluptuous and delicious and quite more-ish so goes to show it's the end result rather than dogmatic ideals that really matter with wine.

Fat and oily initially but tightens up with air. Very rich, almost a meal on its own. A white wine for red wine drinkers which calls for food.

15/20 (85/100) Вино с ароматами тыквенных семечек, лимонного сока и яблок. Довольно тельное и кислотное с ощутимой спиртуозностью во вкусе. Тяжелое вино, не оценил.
