Shows the ripe

This is a classy wine of harmony and grace and one that should amply repay up to a decade of cellar time

this stays bright and balanced overall

The palate impression provides an interesting contrast as it is at once caressing and lilting yet powerful and concentrated

Features a gorgeous brioche frame around the creamed pear

ripe black plums and boysenberries with touches of wild sage

Notes of smoky mineral reduction and acacia blossom lead to highly energetic and even more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that arguably possess the finest mouth feel in the entire range

While not intense

the wine is deep

fleshy wine with a sweet core of fruit and a pretty

dry and balanced finale where a touch of bitter lemon character slowly emerges

with a long chassis of fine-grained tannins
