Remembering rewarding this wine from the 2010 vintage a 3-digit score. This might well get there as well, but as it was bottled last week; not yet. Shy, yet intense aromas where crushed summer berries and pronounced minerals take centre stage. Almost explosive on the palate where sweet tannins counterbalance rich fruit, pan fried herbs and iron like minerality. Fresh, long and layered finish. Pretty astonishing, actually. 97+
