Immediately appealing, gloriously fruit-driven and reasonably honeyed, I had hoped for a little more tension on the finish given the vitality on the front of the palate, but this is definitely a ‘High Silver Medal’ wine that just stops short of ‘Gold Medal’ status because just needs a little more length.
