This wine does not deliver the intensity and multiple dimensions I have come to expect from this winery in top vintages. Nevertheless, it is a very good to excellent effort, with an emphasis on elegant, pure, kirsch, cherry, and raspberry fruit flavors, soft tannin, and a medium-bodied, round, tasty personality. It will not make old bones, so enjoy it over the next 4-5 years. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
