Tasting notes
Good dark red with ruby highlights. Wonderfully high-pitched aromas of blueberry, blood orange, flowers, spices, mint and crushed stone. Powerfully mineral-driven wine, with outstanding energy and verve for the year. Stains the palate on the vibrant, weightless, extremely long aftertaste. Very classy wine, on a par with the best grand crus of this vintage.

(Don't Miss! Outstanding)<br /> A notably ripe yet elegant, cool, restrained and airy nose of rose petal, spice, hoisin, plum and mineral-laden aromas merges into medium weight flavors brimming with stone influences and an abundance of extract culminate in a relatively powerful finish underpinned by ripe tannins and superb length. This really stains the palate and I very much like the underlying sense of tension on the explosive and almost painfully intense finish. In short, this is a knock-out.
