"Naturally spicy but not exotic aromas with a hint of honey and a purity of fruit that is extraordinary that gives way to rich, round, surprisingly supple and forward yet very precise flavors that are certainly finer and a bit more nuanced than those of the Poruzots. From the nose to the mid-palate, this is wine of finesse and understatement yet the finish explodes like a grenade with almost painful intensity. This is one of those "wow" wines!"
