Tasting note: A very serious effort that is cool, fresh, densely fruited, complex and almost airy with exceptional punch and lift and this wonderful vibrancy continues onto the detailed, intense and tautly muscular flavors that drench the palate in buckets of sève that relegate the very firm tannins to the background of the explosive, dusty and hugely long finish. This is a classy wine of obvious breed and one that should amply reward an extended cellar snooze. |
