A confident depth of strawberry, straw and flowers. Delicate power of length and freshness. Certainly settling well but still has more years to develop yet.

Medium ruby color. Very floral and perfumed nose with hints of earth. Nicely balanced on the palate. Made from 25% whole cluster.

Fruitier than I expected for a 2011. Very intense aromatics.
