A more restrained and slightly cooler nose reluctantly offers up its combination of essence of apple, pear, wet stone, citrus rind and an interesting hint of jasmine tea. The super-sleek and wonderfully intense flavors also possess imposing size, weight and power while exhibiting huge length on the compact, serious and chiseled finish. This too is clearly built-to-age and is a wine that is going to need at least a decade to reveal its potential and probably 12 to 15 to fully peak.
