". . . I was shocked at how fresh and bright this is with only the barest traces of secondary aromas adding nuance to the earthy cherry and raspberry fruit notes that continue onto the rich, full, sweet and mouth coating flavors that possess serious depth and outstanding balance on the mouth coating and hugely long finish. This is a seriously impressive wine with absolutely no separation between the evolution of the fruit and the supporting structure. Plus, it is incredibly youthful and while it could certainly be enjoyed today, it will age gracefully for decades and is still on the way up."
