Wine Orbit, Jul/2017
2016 -
"It is generously expressed on the nose showing ripe nectarine, mango, nougat, vanilla and toasted almond characters. The palate is equally attractive offering bright fruit intensity and creamy texture, beautifully supported by refreshing acidity. The wine delivers plenty of tasty flavours and finishes long and silky. At its best: now to 2019."
