Sample expert review
Intensely liquorous, this finely balanced wine shows considerable sweetness, but it is so delicate and understated. This makes it a great food wine. There is a suggestion of honey, while baked apple flavors are more apparent. And the layer of acidity keeps the wine fresh and racy.
