Here there is a completely different aromatic profile with markedly more spice elements present that add breadth and a certain elegance to the primarily red and black pinot fruit nose though there are background hints of Asian-style tea, violet and lilac. I like the mouth feel to the well-delineated, intense and mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess a saline character on the solidly complex and well-balanced if mildly austere finale. This is more forward than usual and should be mature, or close to it, after only 7 to 10 years.
