Tasting Notes

This is the first wine to display any real wood influence though it's deft and serves as a backdrop against the elegant and airy red raspberry and cherry aromas that dissolve seamlessly into the fresh and racy middle weight flavors that possess a wonderfully attractive underlying tension on the detailed and minerally finish. This is really quite fine for Champans with more finesse and refinement than usual but make no mistake, it's built to last.

90/93
