Halliday Wine Companion - 94 Points Showing off the exuberance of youth with vitality and vibrancy, all appealing elements. It’s a lovely wine, pretty and aromatic, juicy and supple. It's full of pink and red cherries, a dash of kirsch, warm spices, cardamom and some minty notes. It’s lighter framed and elegant, with fine tannins. While lacking some complexity today, it should build on that in time. Jane Faulkner Serving Suggestions A beautiful match with roast duck, mushroom risotto, lamb, pork, grilled salmon, charcuterie or soft cheeses.
