"From a 0.68 ha parcel. A marvelously fresh if restrained nose displays a cool mélange of various red berry fruit, plenty of wet stone and discreet spice and earth nuances. There is also an abundance of minerality present on the superbly intense, indeed almost painfully so, medium weight plus flavors that conclude in an explosively long, well-balanced and austere finale. This is terrific though note that plenty of patience will be requisite."
