Clean aromatics. Candied and honeyed, apricots and citrus, with a whiff of petrol that gives the nose a sense of elegance. Fine-tuned, crisp, and very balanced, with off-dry flavors that match the nose. Limestone minerality lingers on the stony finish.

High-toned cherry, oak spice, and pastille aromas. Young and fruity, with bright red fruit flavors and a tight finish. Oak is evident throughout.

Old world nose. Strawberries, cherries, earth, and Gardenia. Youthful, and long, structured and elegant. Exhibits force yet comes across as graceful, with flavors that define its terroir. Tremendous persistence on the finish. Will be even better in a couple of years.

Black and blue fruit, red meat, lavender, and a touch of spice on the nose. Displays youth, power, and restraint on a full body. Finishes with grip. Needs a few years to shed its adolescence. Good enough.

Wonderful bouquet. Aged, dusty aromas of cherries, strawberries, old leather, and spices. Full bodied and well-integrated, the red fruit goodness shows ample depth and length, epitomizing its sense of place.

Honeyed, sweet, candied bouquet. Much like a Sauternes dessert wine. In the mouth this is the complete opposite. Clean, bone dry, showing exceptional length and tremendous focus. This is a serious wine.
