“Bright ruby-red. Red and dark berry, exotic spice and floral qualities on the expressive, mineral-accented nose. Juicy and precise, offering appealingly sweet cherry, raspberry and red currant flavors and a refreshingly bitter rhubarb flourish. Turns sweeter as it opens up and puts on weight as well, with no loss of energy. Discreet tannins frame a long, smooth finish that strongly echoes the red fruit and spice notes. There's noteworthy elegance here, both for the vintage and for an entry-level bottling.”
