too young to be considered for inclusion in the Hill of Grace vintages

Rich and intense with some great spicy notes

Mild reduction is enough to render the nose difficult to read

The mouth feel of the silky and refined middle weight flavors is notably finer and I very much like the vibrancy that continues onto the balanced and lingering finish

Very generous wood stops just short of completely dominating the otherwise fresh and ripe red berry fruit

Jasmin, Cote Rotie Giroflarie other_regions too young to be consideredGlistening violet. Smoke and mineral accented cherry and black raspberry scents are complemented by suggestions of tobacco, violet and cracked pepper. Silky in texture and lively on the palate, offering gently sweet dark berry, cherry compote and floral pastille flavors firmed by a spine of juicy acidity. The spicy note returns on an impressively long, penetrating finish that shows very good clarity and subtle, fine grained tannins. Josh Raynolds
