Translucent ruby in the glass.
Light aromas of cinnamon and sandalwood appear with a bit of fresh bay leaf. There is a fresh garden potpurri of sorts with fresh-picked flowers and some greens. The subdued fruit aromas are red currant, cranberry and pomegranate.
It has gorgeous brightness and lift from the moment it meets the palate through the finish. Lush and juicy flavors emerge of the same red berry fruits on the nose along with added hints of red plum and red apple skin. The acidity is bright but not out of balance and wonderfully frames the fruit. There is zest from nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon bark, but it's not spice laden. There is real purity of fruit here, unencumbered by too much oak, extraction or manipulation. It's gorgeous structure has both prettiness and tension in the best Burgundian wayand should be fascinating to see how it develops in the coming years.
Though it could be wahsed clean by the juicy acidity, it has a nice finish lingering on pomrgranate and fresh plums.
