mellow notes of red apple charm the nose

It’s full-bodied

A rock star Margaux that should be snatched up by readers

And behind this is a huge structure with great acidity that keeps it very straight on the expansive yet energetic palate

blackberries and iodine with hints of dried mushrooms and flowers
