Fruit first rose with sweet yet bold berry flavors. A touch of bite when swallowing. Great with food or on its own. Nice with lamb, fish, or any balsamic dishes. — 11 years ago

Medium gold. Aromas more of orchards than fields. With air gaining a hint of tropical notes, pineapple. Distinctly sweeter than expected but residual CO2 saves the day, bless the Stelvin. — 11 years ago
