A noble wine that shows sense of place in a most positive way, and one that’s built for the long haul. Black cherry and red currant aromas are joined by deep earthy minerality and balanced pepper notes, and they translate well on the palate, with the oak and earth tones in front at present. Have no fear, the fruit will come forward with extended bottle age and this will become an elegant gentleman. Bravo!
