Price Description
The cobalt blue bottle festoons many a dorm room, its simple, slightly confected contents—with an undergrad-friendly price—fuelling many a party. Some matchstick sulphur suppresses the peach fruit, which actually emerges better on the finish. Quite sweet, as expected from late-harvest spätlese grapes. Good length. LCBO 262337
