A decidedly restrained but more elegant nose offers up various floral elements that include lavender and rose petal along with various spice and red berry fruit scents. Several of the wines in the range possess beautiful textures and mouthfeels but the exquisitely delineated, vibrant and stony flavors are silky to the point of resembling liquid lace if such a thing existed, while exhibiting stunningly good persistence on the harmonious and superbly well-balanced finish. This mildly austere effort is restrained and cool yet it cannot hide its evident class. In sum, this is simply at another level.
Good dense mid crimson, softly fruited at first in the bouquet, some oak, fruit at maximum ripeness though it freshens up in the glass. For a moment I felt this was treading the edge of volatility, but it is stopping short. Stylish pure and very long indeed. At the moment the wine feels as if it is at an awkward stage in its evolution, but with great potential, and certainly very stylish.
