Description
95 points | Burghound, Allen Meadows
A discreet but not invisible dose of wood does not detract from the purity of the elegant, airy and exuberantly spicy array of red currant, rose petal, lavender and forest floor scents. The succulent, indeed borderline plump, and refined middle weight flavors flash first-rate tension and delineation on the compact and serious finish where hints of warmth and mocha emerge. This is excellent and while it's certainly constructed to reward extended cellaring, it's not so backward as to foreclose the possibility of enjoying this after 8 or so years.
