A shocker. Less is more in this case. The wine has grace and balance, I don't recall such acidity in previous vintages. 2010 made everyone grown up.

May 28th, 2017Mushrooms and shale, with a dash of dark fruits on the nose. On the palette, the wine is a touch gritty, with exotic spices. It has a good finish, but not as suave and sweet as we expected. Not sure if bottle age will help here.
