This is unusually expressive for a young RSV and this positively explodes from the glass with a kaleidoscopically spicy and nuanced nose that features a broad range of fruit aromas, including red, blue and black plus a subtle mix of floral notes, in particular violet and fresh rose petal. The rich and even more refined flavors are mouth coating and palate drenching and all the dry extract is buffered by bright finishing acidity on the gorgeously long backend. This is an extremely impressive ’06 and also exceptionally classy and sophisticated.

Good medium red. Perfumed, subtle aromas of raspberry, minerals and sexy oak. Sappy, pure and youthfully tight, with lovely density and definition to the flavors of raspberry, coffee and spicy oak. Finishes broad, dense, spicy and very long. This is superb for the year.
