Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Woodland berry, fragrant blue flower, camphor and exotic spice aromas take center stage in this wine. The linear, vibrant palate still shows its youth, offering juicy Marasca cherry, cranberry, white pepper and crushed herb flavors alongside fine-grained tannins that leave a firm finish. Bright acidity lends balance. Drink after 2024.
