Quality
A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.
81/100Good
Quite staunch and almost sour smelling, with an initial blast of vinegar that later settles on herbal. Flavors of baked beans and herbal fruit carry heat and scouring acidity. Rubbery as well.
Flavor profile
