This 6-year-old is showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Rich yet elegant. Fruit forward and smooth.
Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show its elegance and complexity, so take your time and be patient.
A great wine to share with friends and talk about. Thank you Pillar and José for sharing this with me.
Good by itself and will pair very nicely with the traditional grilled baby lamb dish.
