unctuously-textured

Guffens Heynen, Pouilly Fuisse Tris Hauts Vignes Size:12x750ml blackcurrantsThere are touches of reduction and menthol sitting atop the exotic white and yellow fruit scents that are trimmed in a discreet application of oak.

This is also quite precise and while its no model of finesse, it certainly is imposing. Patience required. 92
