". . . fantastically complex nose that reveals a simply marvelous breadth of aromas, from white flower to honeysuckle to ripe orchard notes to spice elements. The palate impact does justice to the nose with equally superb depth and remarkable density on the beautifully delineated and mineral-driven flavors blessed with buckets of sap that coats and stains the palate on the explosive and hugely long finish.
