Tasting notes
The first wine to have just a hint of something possibly reduction related on the nose but with splendiferous fruit on the palate. Racy and pretty rich though very far from heavy. (JR)

A very pretty, even perfumed nose of spicy red cherry, raspberry and floral nuances introduces restrained, focused and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess superb richness yet no lack of energy. There is first-rate purity and transparency to the highly complex, balanced and seriously long finish. This is terrific and should be excellent in time though note that moderate patience will be required as this is not forward. Tasted: Jan 14, 2013. Drink: 2023+
