92 VM. "Bright ruby-red. A perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red berries, peppery spices and smoky minerals, plus a hint of tea rose that builds in the glass. Palate-staining raspberry and floral pastille flavors deepen and expand with air while maintaining energy. Silky tannins fold smoothly into the juicy fruit on a long, penetrating and surprisingly racy finish that echoes the floral note. This is an unusually graceful wine for the region, and it's pretty approachable right now." Vinous, Sep 2016 |
