Community Tasting Note

• Gregory Dal Piaz wrote: 88 points

  January 27, 2021 - Lovely intensity and complexity on the nose with nuanced aromas of blood, evergreen, dried lime, red currant, and lilacs. Very finely textured, decidedly medium weight, but not lacking in intensity and the freshness is particularly appealing here. The Flavor profile is very fresh with red fruits, citrus and herbs, and this is downright playful in the mouth. Clean, precise, long and elegant on the finish with some bristly tannins, There's a gentle dried herbal character here lending complexity, but this is surprisingly bright and energetic in the mouth with lovely transparency. Decent length, Neither terribly obvious nor terribly fruity, but bright, layered, nuanced, and retaining a sense of delicacy that the best wines of the vintage retain.
