Tasting notes
Astonishingly dense, sexy, spicy fruit with huge flavors of earth, black cherries and cedar are followed by wave after wave of amazing complexity. Quite tannic but the tannins are so wrapped in velvet that one barely notices them. Fireworks in a glass and one of the wines of the vintage. Expensive but worth it.

Bright, deep ruby-red. Complex nose melds violet, bitter chocolate, earth, meat and a hint of medicinal austerity. Dense, rich and thick; a wine of compelling richness and sweetness, but also solidly structured despite its accessibility today. Finishes with lush but firm tannins and exhilarating notes of cassis and violet. Lovely pinot noir.
