Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Relatively strong reduction hides all but the spice and wood toast notes. By contrast there is good volume and mid-palate concentration to the well-delineated, intense and seductively textured flavors that are supported by firm and reasonably refined tannins on the dusty and moderately austere..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Soft and generous fruit, its tannins enveloped by a warm and ripe juicy fruit layer. The wine is already delicious, showing sweet tannins and a subtle touch of wood."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"An exceptionally fresh and elegant nose displays dried flowers, citrus and a hint of wet stone before sliding gracefully into detailed, racy and highly energetic flavors that offers the same minerality as suggested by the nose on the dry and moderately austere finish. An understated and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Aromas of blueberries and minerals, with hints of flowers. Full body, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Chewy, yet polished.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
