Robert Parker

"The 2011 Nic displays intense balsamic aromas, notes of incense, Cuban cigars, and fine woods, along with a core of ripe fruit without the slightest hint of excess or overripeness. It does not reflect the heat of the vintage. The aging process has been gentle on the fruit, giving the wine a certain restraint and elegance. The palate is medium-bodied to full-bodied with very fine tannins, superb balance, excellent length, and surprising freshness for this vintage. While it can be enjoyed now, it should also improve and develop greater complexity with time.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) Improving year after year!

About the wine:

The 2011 Nic displays intense balsamic aromas, notes of incense, Cuban cigars, and fine woods, along with a core of ripe fruit that is neither excessive nor overripe. It does not reflect the heat of the vintage. The aging process has been gentle on the fruit, giving the wine a certain restraint and elegance. On the palate, it is medium-bodied to full-bodied with very fine tannins, superb balance, excellent length, and surprising freshness for this vintage. While it can be enjoyed now, it should also improve and develop greater complexity with time.
