What reviewers say
“Bought for comparison with the spectacular 2020 Austin Hope. This is great, but the former is tough to beat & it’s immediately apparent from 1st sampling. Usually it takes a few sips until a wine opens the palette & you can appreciate the subtleties.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
