2017’ BH Score: 90-92 / Tasted: Jan 10, 2019 / Drink: 2025+ / Issue: 73
Note: from 40+ year old vines; 70% whole clusters
Tasting note: A cool, spicy and fresh combination consists of plenty of floral influences to the pretty red and dark pinot, Asian-tea and sandalwood aromas. There is exceptional richness to the notably more concentrated flavors that offer good length if only average depth on the mocha-infused finish. My projected range assumes that more complexity will develop with time in bottle as this wine has an excellent track record in that regard.
