- Tasting Note: Fine, elegant wines revealing good long-lasting aromas. Relatively complex fragrances of red and black fruits plus spices. The wines at their peak unveil aromas of undergrowth and grilled tobacco.
- Scores: Vinous 91-93 Points, Vibrant mineral-accented blackberry blueberry and violet aromas pick up a spicy topnote with air. Concentrated red and dark berry olive and floral pastille flavors display sharp focus and energetic drive thanks to a spine of smoky minerality. Finishes very long and sappy with persistent blue fruit and floral qualities subtle tannins and lingering spiciness
