Tastes different with every sip, but kind of tastes like grape juice.
Flat on my tongue but rounded in the back of my mouth.
This is Andrews favorite to date. The less light that shines through it, the more satisfied he feels.
This is the wine that first showed its strength and subtlety simultaneously. The result is a new level of satisfaction for Andrew.
