Tasting notes
Good medium red. Raspberry, flowers and a whiff of caramel oak on the nose. Supple and pliant, with ripe acidity framing the raspberry and pomegranate flavors. A hint of positive bitterness energizes the middle palate. The firm tannins call for three or four years of cellaring.

Rich and flattering on the nose. Fine and fresh and with real concentration and richness. Quite exciting. Though the finish is quite dry. (JR)
This is exceptionally fresh, cool and restrained with an absolutely lovely mélange of various red berry fruit aromas that are liberally laced with mineral and sauvage hints. There is good richness but also fine precision to the mineral-driven, delicious and impressively complex flavors that possess plenty of verve and first-rate persistence for a villages level wine. This is stunningly good for what it is and highly recommended. Tasted: Jan 14, 2013. Drink: 2019+
