backward and brooding nose reluctantly gives up hints of very earthy dark pinot fruit nuanced by a distinct animale hint that merges into broad-shouldered flavors that offer excellent volume and concentration that finishes with just a hint of dryness and plenty of minerality

with fabulous silky tannins and superexotic fruit that goes on and on

dusty tannins on the prolonged finish

great lift and gaining intensity in the glass

dried fruits with a strong animal and damp-hay note

The elegant, pure and chiseled flavors terminate in a youthfully austere, dusty and focused finale that exudes an abundance of minerality; indeed it seems as though the finish is built on it. This is most impressive, and I particularly like the purity of expression.
