Tasting Notes
Initially there is a touch of leather, followed by a hint of cigar and more of that wet stone and earth character, buttressed by vivid, aromatic and almost floral fruit that has all the juiciness of a red-fleshed plum. The sinuous palate has beautiful freshness that seems to underline the translucent brightness of this wine. This is bold but utterly elegant. Echoes of vanilla follow the velvety tannins that have such a pleasant crunch. Wave upon wave of aroma follows, finishing long with a hint of smoke. Drink by 2050.
