"With its full flavors of dried apricots and bergamot, this deeply structured dry wine really packs a punch for just 10.5% alcohol. Although there™s a touch of bottle maturation character, this has some years of life ahead of it. A joint venture of a Douro winemaker and a Mosel vintner. Drink or hold."
