Lovely nose, floral, with some nutmeg and cinnamon elements. Sour cherry with an earthy finish. Elegant and austere. Great wine from a solid producer.

Robust tart fruit, bold acidity and lots of tannin. My other bottles will be good for many more years!! Really broad range of elements to appreciate in this wine. 2011
