96 AM. "40+ year old vines. A restrained, cool and superbly elegant nose features perfumed notes of Asian spices, red currant, plum and lavender along with the hallmark mineral nuances, all of which are trimmed in discreet wood. There is superb intensity to the refined, delineated and focused medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by dense but exceptionally fine tannins that are impeccably well-integrated on the energetic and explosively long finish that is distinctly saline in character. This is drop dead gorgeous and indisputably built to age." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Jan 2015 |
