this wine has turned out to be sleeper of the vintage

the palate grows in austerity

floral and blood orange flavors that are woven together into a fabric of total class

Discreet but not invisible wood is present on the overtly floral-suffused nose that displays background hints of lemon rind and a phenolic character (think olive oil nuances)

Many are quick to dismiss it given the difficulties of the growing season that saw abundant rain

The spiciness continues onto the rich, velvety and mouth coating flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that buffers the otherwise firm tannins on the elegant, refined and beautifully balanced finish. This is just a fantastically good
