About the wine
Tasting notes
Pure, primary and still beautifully complex nose wafts from the glass in a constellation of red and black cherries, sweet plums, violets, peonies, cocoa powder, a very complex base of soil, hints of the iron to come, woodsmoke, mustard seed and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very, very transparent this year, with a superb core, ripe, beautifully integrated tannins, vibrant acids and a very, very long, focused and classic finish.

Expert review
This is also quite aromatically restrained with its cool, airy and extraordinarily complex nose that features notes of red raspberry, black cherry, violet, rose petal, Asian-style spices, in particular cinnamon and anise plus a hint of orange pekoe tea. There is superb concentration to the intensely stony and well-delineated broad-shouldered flavors that also brim with palate soaking dry extract that helps to buffer that imposingly powerful, tautly muscular and massively long and youthfully austere finish. This is breathtaking in just how much power and intensity it packs yet there isn't a hair out of place. In a word, 'wow'!
