Here too the restrained but exceptionally pretty nose is cool, pure and airy with its array of red and dark currant, earth, spice and lovely floral nuances. The middle weight and caressing flavors possess a notably finer mouthfeel that is at once firm but elegant thanks once again to the relatively fine grain of the supporting tannins shaping the markedly firm and youthfully austere finish. This is very clearly built-to-age yet I suspect that it will unwind sufficiently quickly to be approachable after 5-ish years or so of cellaring. Drink: 2031+ (Jan18)
