Naturally, it lacks the complexity and dimension of the best years and top wines here, but there is a good deal of charm. Sweet red cherry fruit, white pepper, orange peel, cinnamon and rose petals meld together effortlessly. It's a gorgeous wine from a very challenging year. I would prefer to drink this sooner rather than later.\" (09\/2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e94 points James Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Intoxicating aromas of violets, dark cherries, pomegranates and a balsamic touch.
