Notes from memory on a bottle that I followed for three days open. I usually don't review unless there's a glass in front of me, but in this case the wine made enough of an impression that I need to record it for future reference. Light to medium ruby color, no haze or sediment. Average intensity nose of soil and stone with a little white flower bouquet. Palate is really crunchy and crisp, almost no fruit to speak of. This is probably the most AFWE wine I've ever had... and I like it a lot. Spending time within its subtlety reveals plenty of character from a nice palette of flavors. I think I will always want some of this style in my cellar for times when I don't feel like a deep or bombastic wine. Label says 13% - hard to believe it's really over 11% 5+10+16+8= 89
