Note: from a .44 ha parcel with vines that were originally planted in 1904 though there has been a significant amount of replanting since. A dollop of wood frames the spicy red and dark currant scents where more aromatic breadth is present in the form of Asian-style tea and violet wisps. There is a lovely sense of energy to the focused middle weight flavors that possess solid if not exceptional depth and persistence on the balanced if very firm finale. This is however quite classy and I particularly like the mid-palate texture.
