Tasting Notes and Scores

93 AM

The barest hint of tropic fruit nuances add interest to the otherwise classic and wonderfully complex nose of honeysuckle, white flower and citrus aromas that introduce rich, round and forward flavors that possess good body and initially it seems that the finish might be slightly heavy and then at the last moment a firm backbone of acidity arrives to save both the focus and balance. 2006 will not be a long distance vintage for a wine that typically can easily run to 15 years without breathing hard and while it will make it that far, my guess is that it will be tired when it arrives. Still, the nose at present is already brilliant and this should basically be ready in the 4 to 6 year range.
