A slightly macerated nose of notably ripe red berry fruits that are still entirely primary is trimmed in moderately prominent new wood that leads to solidly concentrated medium weight plus flavors that offer excellent length and plenty of finishing complexity. While not a particularly structured '96, neither has it reached its peak and for my taste, I would not begin seriously looking at this for at least another 2 to 4 years, perhaps even longer. Multiple, and consistent, notes.
