This delectable wine opens expansively with lifted floral aromas of gardenia and carnation intermingled with hints of cinnamon stick, white pepper and cigar box, creating an expressive bouquet that is characteristic of the 2013 vintage. The palate is cerebral and extremely detailed, showing a wine that is both approachable and refined. The entry exposes juicy, dark fruit tones and plush flavors of forest floor and crushed truffles, supported by fine grained tannins that lead into a sophisticated finish with persistent notes of molasses.
