Its deep ruby/plum hue is followed by a stunning nose of ripe red and black fruits, spring flowers, spicy wood, and crushed stone-like minerality. With flawless balance, a pure, full-bodied, seamless mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish, it\u0027s the finest vintage of this cuvée I\u0027ve tasted and will most likely warrant a perfect rating in a decade.
