From an old, high-elevation Dundee Hills site, this has an old-vine grace and balance. It leads with aromas of spice, tobacco, anise, rye grain and soil, all in the service of restrained charry. The flavors are cool, elegant and finely wrought, with succulent ripeness. It feels natural and effortless; for duck. October 2019
