Rich tasting, paired with osso bucco. Beautiful combination.
Perry rated this wine as 90/100
Bob Williams rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Seems a little light/thin for my modest palette! But there is definitely an alcohol burn. I bet this would kick aas if the alcohol was dialed back a couple % points, not that I know what I'm talking about!
