"Opened from personal storage. The expressive nose of still mostly primary green fruit and white flowers evidences only the first hints of secondary character. Similarly, the wonderfully refined flavors flesh good power, muscle, sap, complexity, typicity, concentration and an almost palpable sense of stoniness on the attractively dry and highly persistent finale. In sum, this is a stunner of a wine that to my taste is very much still on the way up and while it certainly could be enjoyed now I would be inclined to allow it at least another 3 to 5 years of cellar time first. In a word, brilliant." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Jul 2016 |
