“A serious depth of fruit here with dried cherries and strawberries as well as candied lemons and ginger. Dried flowers too. Just a touch of smoke and flint. The medium-bodied palate has a lovely center and brightness in the finish. Goes on for minutes. A real handmade-wine feeling. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling
