Less reductive than the slightly higher-priced sibling. Yet not at the forfeit of blue-fruit allusions, tapenade, dried nori and violet. This is where the clutch needs to sit, neither looser nor firmer. Full-weighted and polished, yet alive and jubey in the mouth, with some vanillin sweetness at the seams. Real flow and length. A ridiculously good wine at this sort of price.
