8/23/2021 - theporkrail Likes this wine: 93 pointsIn a great spot showing kirsch, prune notes with really full bodied flavours. Nice development with hints of leather and choclate powder. Had the group in New World with fruit weight and sweetness, but had some great Italian boot polish for me too |
