This is presently reduced but the underlying fruit seems ripe. Otherwise there is better mid-palate concentration to the more evident mineral-inflected flavors that possess a relatively polished mouthfeel thanks to the fine grain of the supporting tannins, all wrapped in a beautifully long and complex finish. This is quite linear at present and will need a few years of bottle age to flesh out. Excellent quality here.
