“This is absolutely by fare the best wine I've ever tasted. Served New Year's Eve 2012 to a roasted veal. Temperature 19c, four hours breathing.”

Summary
The wine is very aromatic and expressive, floral and spicy, with the oak nicely folded into ripe fruit. It's powerful and full-bodied showing also approachability and appeal. The tannins are very fine and the finish is quite remarkable.
