Over the evening, this fleshes out beautifully, showing fantastic complexity paired with edgy, fresh fruit. The wine is medium to full bodied with a gorgeously smooth, silky texture, perfect balance, fresh acidity, and a clean, focused finish. I love the blend of solid underlying structure paired with fresh, yet ripe fruit. Drink this beauty over the next 10 to 12 years. 93 |
