Ethereal and graceful despite the challenging vintage. Wild cherry and dried herbs flow across a silky frame, while hints of cedar and tobacco leaf add savory depth. The estate's proven aging potential. Their 2006 remains vibrant. Suggests this refined beauty will reward extended cellaring. Drink 2025-2040.
