The care that goes into this wine has cemented its prestige among discerning customers.
James Suckling -September 12, 2024 "Iodine, mussels and some dark chocolate with blackberries and dark plums. Pretty opulent and a little more generous than the 2021 and 2019. More muscular, too, with fine-grained tannins and…
