Monday, March 2, 2009 - Hello. Brilliant aromatics of super-precise raspberry and blackberry accented by tangerine rind and a touch of foresty floor. Wonderfully transparent flavors in the mid-palate. Sort of like eating a purely ripe raspberry one little section at a time. Great bursts of mid-palate flavor that are sweet and compelling but completely well balanced. Sublime sort of texture that seemed to swirl and change from sip to sip. Sometimes it showed a little more medium bodied and sometimes seemed to be rich and velvety. In any case the wine was always long, supple and very generous on the finish with a distinct racy, stony note to the very back of the wine. I would say that given the sort of ever-changing nature of the wine that there is still a good deal of evolution going on and this will be a star for years to come. That being said this was certainly no crime to drink and thoroughly enjoy now.
