Here the nose is certainly ripe yet it's still almost classic with its aromas of mineral reduction, citrus peel, sea breeze, oyster shell and apple. Once again the mouth feel of the larger-scaled flavors is quite sleek with outstanding intensity along with abundant minerality while exhibiting excellent power on the dense and serious but not heavy finish. I did note just enough backend warmth to mention as the warmth of the vintage creeps in though even so, this is impressive in its fashion.
