  Pale ruby, bricked. Big big nose of horse piss, iron, roses, apple skins; redness. Magnificent! Deep minerals; haunting prettiness, like Nicole Kidman drifting through your halls. Zero oxidation. A slightest touch of cola, cocoa, malted milk, cream, and then tea roses forever. And a little waxy lipstick. Heavenly. Palate is bright and fresh, incredibly so. Not a bruiser by any stretch, but very persistent and chock-a-block with character. Now just exploding on the palate, pomegranate, tangy red cherries, and a quick dash of orange zest. Great acidity, nicely resolved tannins, and perfect, textbook length. Stellar wine, amazing. Wow! This couldn't be any better. Divinity, tonight, with Josh and Karen on 9/11/12, the pillars of light trying to illuminate the empty darkness above us.
