Lifted floral, plummy, blueberry nose with background spice. Medium-full, elegant and creamy, with a dry mineral finish and fine tannin. Great acidity; fruit carries well. Excellent value for either sipping or cellaring; it’s no hardship to spring for a six-bottle case from the importer. Best now to 2013. Bwwines.com.
