99 Points

Thursday, December 21, 2006 - My first lalala... Dark and brooding in color. The nose, even though a bit closed at this stage, is overwhelming yet delicate with loads of sweetness, flowers, minerals and mocca, mocca, mocca. It tastes like essence of Syrah - blueberry and blackberry licquor, but where top-Syrah is often heavy as a WW2 tank this wine dances on your tongue as a ballerina... It's immensely intense and complex, yet light, almost ethereal. Its broad and deep in a very demonstrative way. Aftertaste is close to 1 minute. I certainly hope and pray this won't be my last! 99+
