(100% vendange entier): Palish red. Knockout nose melds redcurrant, cherry, blood orange, minerals, flowers and exotic spices. Juicy, suave and energetic, offering great finesse and inner-mouth perfume to the fine-grained red fruit, spice and mineral flavors. Manages to be both plump and weightless in the manner of the finest red Burgundies. Wonderfully fruity, round wine with a very long, subtly spicy finish that saturates the mouth. Today, the wine's firm structure and suave tannins are in the deep background. These 2010s are wonderfully perfumed yet understated wines. Stephen Tanzer
