Score 89-92/100 · Allen Meadows, Burghound
The highly expressive nose features notes of honeysuckle, pit fruit and olive oil hints. There is excellent vibrancy and lovely delineation to the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess a refined mouth feel on the clean and dry finish that exhibits just a hint of bitterness. Note that the bitterness is probably a passing phase and that my predicted range assumes that it will dissipate in time. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014. Drink: 2017+
