This too is beautifully expressive and perfumed with its airy and cool yet entirely ripe nose that is comprised of subtle wood surrounding the very pinot-like notes of red raspberry and cherry along with a hint of forest floor character. The mouthfeel is once again gorgeous with a more sophisticated texture to the larger-scaled yet sleek and refined flavors that brim with minerality on the impressively long, well-balanced and very firm finale where a touch of austerity can be found. This could use better depth but this wine has an established track record of amply repaying extended bottle aging. Warmly recommended.
