Tasting Notes

A marvelously expressive nose that is beginning to mature yet still displays relatively fresh earthy red berry fruit and spice notes that continue onto the delicious, rich and round middle weight flavors that still hold plenty in reserve while finishing with beautiful complexity and moderate structure as well as impressive persistence. An elegant wine of indisputable breed and class that hasn't quite reached it apogee yet but it is in the vincinity and it would not be a complete crime to open a bottle now if you have others in reserve. Simply gorgeous. Tasted many times with consistent notes.
