This shows subtle sweetness on the nose, with a spicy backnote. Interestingly, the sweet character of the wines shows even more prominently in the flavors, yet there’s real freshness and purity to the fruit—more than is typical for the vintage. Wood and grape tannins firm up the finish, but the fruit outruns both of them, resulting in a finish with real persistence and charm.
