"Taciturn aromatics, showing notes of tar, black currant, mint. On the palate, the wine has an immensely elegant quality: acidity and minerality establish a firm skein, with just the right dose of suppleness lending structure, roundness, and sophistication; the fine-grained, ripe tannins are not astringent, and they give the impression that their lushness was built for the future. Good to very good length."
