Michelini i Mufatto 'Certezas' Semillon, El Peral, Argentina 2020 Bourgogne Rouge waxy texture in the mouthThe 2020 Certezas is a lot more exotic than the 2019 I tasted next to it, with some tropical notes despite having a lot less alcohol (12. 8% here versus 13. 7% alcohol in the 2019), but the palate keeps the backbone of freshness and acidity. The Semillon was ready before the Chenin this year, when they harvested early. This is richer, has a tender mouthfeel and a long finish. 94 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
