The round and exceptionally rich medium weight flavors also brim with sappy dry extract on the tangy, bright and lingering finale. This isnt a wine of finesse, but I like the bold delivery.

grainy tannins

Last year from barrel this was restrained to the point of being almost mute but that is no longer the case as the nose is now overtly expressive with very ripe and again borderline exotic aromas of yellow orchard fruit along with the more classic scents of citrus

It exhibits a dense ruby/plum/purple color

with smooth tannins lending shape to an impressively long

but still in a distinctly fruity style

But it should please those who appreciate classic claret over the next 10 or so years

The succulent yet serious and muscular flavors possess fine mid-palate density while exuding evident minerality on the robust

sweet and approachable but with shape and grip

it concludes with a long

focused and more structured finale

finishing incredibly long and packed to the gills with flavor

Still refreshing and vibrant
