Lurid ruby-red. An array of fresh red fruit, floral and spice scents are joined by hints of cola and smoky minerals as the wine opens up. Juicy and energetic in style, particularly in the context of the vintage, offering raspberry, rose pastille and star anise flavors that deepen and spread out on the back half. Closes impressively long and sappy; fine-grained tannins sneak in late. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Dec 2016)

A bit young, but delicious. Substantial very fine tannins and a strong streak of minerality show the potential for this wine. Very nice now, better in two to three years.
