Near perfect wine. Ripe fruits, roasted not stewed, sweet spice, leaves, iron, tobacco. Great structure, balanced and elegant.

Earth slightly funky nose but OMG what a great "fresh" (for a 28yrs old) vibrant flavor/texture. Impressive. Label says grapes from Jinsomare and Picihetti

Completely mystifying. Beautiful fruit, balanced acidity, supple tannins and a hint of American oak.
