"A cool, restrained and elegant red berry fruit nose offers up clear spice notes before merging seamlessly with middle weight flavors that possess a very sophisticated mouth feel as the supporting tannins are quite fine-grained. This is so supple and sufficiently forward that it could already be enjoyed as the structure is completely enrobed by the abundant sap on the moderately complex but attractively persistent finish. Despite the present elevated accessibility, this should significantly reward 10 to 12 years of cellar time."
