Wine Enthusiast
Juicy greengage veers into ripe Mirabelle and lemon on the nose of this wine. On the concentrated palate the smokiness and phenolic edge of oak comes through, adding texture to the mouthfeel. This wine captures the ripeness of 2018 with its warmth and fruit, but counters it with freshness.
