A touch of smoky incense clings to the dark but crunchy cherry fruit on the nose. The palate comes in with both freshness and a lively cherry-fruited juiciness that just seems to underline the ripeness of it all. The tannins are supple and smooth, while the bright acidity illuminates everything to pure elegance. Anne Krebiehl MW
