"Wonderfully pure extract of black pinot and cherry fruit aromas trimmed in highly complex notes of coffee, spice, floral hints, especially violets and a smoky nuance complement the mineral-infused and muscular, indeed even robust full-bodied flavors brimming with mid-palate sap that completely buffers the extremely firm, palate coating and mineral-infused finish that lingers for several minutes. This is almost painfully intense yet retains a really beautiful texture with the perfect sense of underlying balance to age for years but what impresses me the most is just how much sap is present as it makes this almost seem forward at present. A 'wow' wine."
