Expert Review:
Sam Kim- 91 points, It's splendidly fruited and inviting on the nose showing apricot, fig, vanilla and roasted cashew characters, leading to a gorgeously expressed palate that's succulent and creamy. The wine offers lovely fruit purity together with elegant complexity, finishing wonderfully long and attractive. At its best: now to 2023.
