Once again, reduction dominates the fruit at present. The surprisingly supple mid-palate of the caressing medium-bodied flavours contrasts with the mineral-inflected, firm, and very serious finish where a touch of warmth emerges. This is unapologetically built to age yet the suppleness of the mid-palate should allow it to be enjoyed a bit earlier than usual. Good stuff provided you're prepared to cellar it for at least a few years first.
