Connoisseurs' Guide
Even if still very young, this deep and very well-filled offering is already starting to show a real sense of layered richness, and its fresh, nervy nose of citrus, stones, sweet oak and spice is followed up by lengthy, mouthfilling, ripe-apple flavors that are filled out by notes of crème brûlée. As well-balanced as it is so very rich, it is a wine of serious potential and will not reach its full potential for several years.
