    September 6, 2019 - Simply wonderful. An almost perfect blend of old and new World. Reminds me Domaine de la Cote from California - but I think is a little more generous in style, though definitely has elements of the Burgundian style. This has plenty of acidity and tannin structure to hold the interest, but with a ripe fruit overlay that marks this out as New World. Gorgeous raspberry and sour cherry on the plush palate. complexity building and already has a long finish.
    I suspect that as it ages this will become more Burgundian, increase in complexity and will experience a slow slide away of the generous fruit it still displays today. So pick you moment but very very attractive now.
