Tasted blind, this one threw me completely off my track. I was sure this was an Angerville Premier Cru 2010. Immense and gentle floral power, More sweet fruit than lots of the other wines tasted tonight. Power, extraction and color put me in 2010 Burgundy rather than 2012 US. Thick and lovely palate, feminine Vosne spices with tomato sauce herbs. Fantastic.

Drinking great - has improved with bottle age. Textbook Anderson Valley PN. Lovely nose - ample red fruits, mostly cherries. Touch of forest floor. Palate follows the nose. Never cloying, thanks to refreshing acidity. Good balance. Good QPR. If I had more, I would revisit in a year.

Drinking perfectly now, wish I had more. Great fruit and balance. Better than some of the Anthill single vineyard bottling. No sign of advanced age.

demands notice. Up front acidity, tannins with fruit, youthful exuberance with rich aftertaste. Compelling.
