An expressive ripe airy nose features relatively primary red and black berry fruit notes with middle weight flavors that are quite fine with obvious minerality and a detailed, smooth and complex if slightly austere backend. This is a sophisticated effort that is built on its minerality and I like the overall sense of balance. Rating: 89points by Allen Meadows - Burghound
