"Ripe, forward and expressively spicy black fruit aromas that are still completely primary lead to supple, rich and round medium full flavors that possess a firm, limestone-infused finish of excellent length. There is moderate structure underneath the concentration and sap and though this is already drinking well, it should amply repay another 3 to 5 years of cellar time. In short, this is a fine effort for the vintage and quite satisfying."
