James Suckling Review
Rated 93
This hefty wine is nevertheless smooth and velvety, filled with almost-sweet red and black plums and even strawberries. Mineral and chalk elements fill out the flavors, adding an elegant, almost delicate expression on the palate and finish. Drink or hold.

How To Serve
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
