Surprisingly dark, youthful color -- this wine could have just as easily been 3 years old as 18. Showing only exotic spice at first and little fruit. However, with about 45 minutes in the glass the lush plum and berry fruit emerged, as did pronounced minerality. A complete and balanced wine, which I wholeheartedly recommend.

Just an evening to compare some juice w/ friends: Wow. Lovely nose with violets, vervaine and musky fruits. Slight smokey tang with gorgeous spice like Szechuan peppercorn. Caresssing and felt-like texture pushes a long finish with peat, spice, saffron and dried berries. Wine appeared delicate, but never wavered for the whole bottle. Gorgeous.
