William Kelley | Simply extraordinary. The wine wafts from the glass with an extraordinarily complex bouquet in which notes of cherries, cassis, and orange rind mingle with fragrant aromas of rose petal and Asian spices, complemented by deeper, more savory bass notes of grilled squab, espresso roast, and smoked duck. It’s full-bodied, multidimensional, and complete, with amazing depth and dimension, juicy acids balancing a deep and concentrated core of fruit, and concluding with a long, reverberative finish. A powerful, even dramatic wine, and one of the pinnacles of this magical vintage. | 100
