| Highest Score | 95, James Suckling |
|---|---|
| Highest Score Review Copy | A succulent and juicy VN with cherry, orange blossom and light chocolate aromas and flavors. It’s medium- to full-bodied, fresh and crunchy at the end. Crisp acidity and lightly chewy tannins give this form. Creamy and drinkable, but better in a year or two. |
