Initially this is reticent to the point of brooding but aggressive swirling liberates a very pretty, even perfumed nose of spicy red cherry, raspberry, earth and floral nuances. The palate impression is presently equally restrained with focused and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess superb richness yet no lack of energy. There is first-rate purity and transparency to the highly complex, balanced and seriously long mineral-driven finish that displays just a touch of youthful asperity. This is terrific and should be excellent in time though note that moderate patience will be required as this is still markedly tight though not particularly austere.
