Critic tasting note: "Just a beauty and showing in the sweet spot, the wine delivers fresh, ripe, sweet, red fruits, hints of pepper, espresso and underbrush. On the palate, the wine is lushly textured and leaves you with ample kirsch in the end note." - 94/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

- Producer Tasting Notes
