Description
(from yields of only 9 hl/ha). A deft touch of wood/menthol sets off ripe and pure aromas of black berry liqueur, earth and a whiff of spice. The rich, round and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors possess an abundance of structure-buffering dry extract that imparts a velvety texture to the mouth feel on the lingering finish where the wood resurfaces. Note that the supporting tannins are firm but relatively fine-grained and this youthfully austere effort should age effortlessly. (90-93)/2028+
