Fantastic rich nose of fig, nutty nuts, citrus fruit underneath; rich mouth as well, silky, good acidity, and a beautifully complex from slight oxidation/extended old barrel age (15 mo.) and extended skin contact. Slick, intense, and impressive from this under appreciated Region.

Concentrated, but well balanced and crisp, especially for the value. Rebuy: yes.

Not crazy about the aroma: Wet cement, rubber, roasted sunflower seeds. Good acidity. Medium body. Silky texture.

Anita: had the next day--a bit oaky, not good next day.
