91 Points

Sunday, November 24, 2013 - Bottle #14’623 of 14'666 bottles produced. Popped and poured, without decanting, and consumed over three days. Very long cork. The wine offered rose petal, red fruit, red cherry, marzipan, hey, tar, liquorice, a hint of chocolate, nail polish remover, some tobacco and some underbrush on the nose. On the palate the wine showed rosewater, red fruit, sour cherry, tea, tobacco and a hint of chocolate, paired with high lively, almost tart acidity, high fine, well-integrated tannin, a good mouthfeel and incredible length. The wine was smooth, balanced and very elegant. It drank well over three evenings and I probably liked it best the third day. I loved the nose and the wine’s great length, but it lacked complexity on the palate to merit an even higher score.
