  This wine is perfect (well it would be better if it could reproduce itself in my cellar). It is huge, with massive, ultra ripe fruit, but with perfect balance--no hotness and the finish is clean and inviting and lasts 1 minute. The silky body could only be described as luxurious. Since I give it a 100 point score, I obviously don't think it will improve, but it should evolve in interesting ways over the next 10 years.

  A deep, aromatic, velvety wine. Fantastic balance, silky tannins, beautiful burgundy color.
  One of the best wines from this appellation I've ever drank.

  Inky dark in color, the wine exudes notes of kirsch liqueur, thyme, flowers, black raspberries, smoke, espresso and peppery herbs. Concentrated, rich and intense, the wine is mouth-coating, yet even with all that power, there is an elegance and sensuality on the palate that steals the show. The finish really sticks with you with its almost endless, seamless layers of fruit. Give it a few years in the cellar to fully come together and for the oak to integrate. This will age quite nicely. Drink From 2025 - 2040.
