Is Original Exceptional Harvest a good wine?
What reviewers say
“Do you remember the final scene of "Manhattan" when Woody Allen lists the things that are worth living for? Oh well I may put this on the list! 🤩 It's beautifully complex: dried apricots, baked apples, honey, sage, walnut... In the background, notes of citrus, plums, marzipan.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Gold intense color, clean and bright.Intense nose with exceptional aromas of the late harvest figs, raisins and prunes that blend with fermentation aromas and pastries, typical of aging on lees. Develops very pronounced varietal aromatic memories.Light and intense equally in the mouth. Subtly grease, filling but not tiring. The acidity and natural sweetness play with ripe and fleshy fruit.
