Outstanding
Tasting note: An intense floral-suffused nose of various red berry and plum scents is both exuberantly fresh and spicy. It is immediately evident that the medium weight flavors are both more refined and more mineral-driven while delivering the seemingly contradictory combination of being at once muscular yet delicate on the serious and youthfully austere finale. As is usually the case this is a wine of class and sophistication that should age effortlessly.
