A strikingly complex and impressively pure nose of earthy red pinot fruit with animale hints and ample spice notes dissolves seamlessly into dusty and moderately concentrated flavors that like the RSV exude a finely wrought sense of poise and harmony on the impeccably well-balanced and explosive finish. There is real underlying tension and energy here that gives lift and punch to the overall effect.
