"As it almost always is, this is not quite as elegant as the Bèze but it's slightly more complex with dense and more deeply pitched yet extremely cool and restrained red and blue fruit aromas nuanced by a broad range of earth, game and underbrush hints, many of which carry over to the pure and relatively refined medium full-bodied flavors that are complex, vibrant and perfectly balanced on the gorgeously long finish. This is brimming with potential and while it too will require plenty of patience, its class and grace are such that it will be approachable in its youth; even so, I would counsel waiting. In a word, magnificent."
