The presence of the wine on the palate is immediately captivating. Paradoxically concentrated yet creamy, it is energetic and warm in the mouth, focusing on the fruit, then gradually taking on more profound bass notes. The whole holds its note perfectly, intensely, with just a subtle, elegant hint of underlying bitterness.\u003c\/q\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points — Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasted November 2018\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrinking Window: 2019–2050\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points — Falstaff\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasted November 2011\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cq\u003eRadiant gold yellow, vigorous and persistent bubbles.
