It’s hard to like a wine that emptied half its contents over my computer, phone and various notes upon opening however I concede that this is not too bad. Its soft, rich and very bready with a gentle texture and lingering finish. If I was going to criticise it I’d say that it would benefit from a slightly lower dosage to make it less obviously sweet on the finish. But that’s a minor criticism.
