this is a beautiful, complex and complete wine, from the delicate, spiced raspberry aroma through the creamy, nuanced finish. subtle but well-defined fruit flavors like white cherry and raspberry pulse across the palate, buoyed by an ultrafine effervescence and lively acidity. but the texture is smooth around the edges, lending a sense of extra depth and layering to this extraordinary bottle. just coming into its own now, it will improve through at least 2020.
