Tasting Note

Here the highly expressive nose is more elegant, airier and even spicier with its array of intensely floral liqueur-like red and dark raspberry aromas. There is beautiful precision and intensity to the medium-bodied flavors that possess superb complexity on the gorgeously long and impeccably well-balanced finish. Though this flashes a certain lacy quality to the mid-palate, the supporting structure is deceptively firm and this too is going to require extended cellaring to reveal its full, and considerable, potential. In a word, brilliant.
