As it always is, this is pure and elegant with predominantly small red berry fruit notes framed by subtle earth aromas that merge seamlessly with the medium weight, intensely flavored, tightly wound mid-section and long, subtly complex finish. This is not a big wine but there is impressive depth and reserve. Understated and fine with impeccable balance. 90-93 Points, Drink 2009-2016. Outstanding! Burghound.com
