"A very high-toned, airy and layered nose of red berry fruit and distinct floral notes, particularly dried red and white rose petal with a touch of lavender, slides gracefully into pure, intense, rich, full and focused middle weight flavors that possess a bit more power and punch with ample minerality though not more length or overall depth. This is certainly an excellent wine but it would also be fair to say that it cannot rival the best vintages for this storied wine."
