This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction along with noticeable if not intrusive wood. The rich, muscular and very concentrated big-bodied flavors coat the palate with dry extract on the powerful, serious and very clearly built-to-age finale. Once again, plenty of patience will be required but it should be more than worth the wait as this is potentially fabulous.
