An elegant but still quite restrained yet spicy nose runs toward the plum and blue berry side of the fruit spectrum. The floral-infused, structured and very serious middle weight flavors culminate in a youthfully austere finish offering huge depth and length with both precision and linearity. The hint of dryness the finish displayed just after the bottling has faded and this is ever-so-slightly more interesting than what I saw ten months ago as the balance is improved. Excellent potential but built for those who have patience.
