It''s in the leaner, racier style and to my way of thinking, it''s a beauty. Smells complex, tastes powerful and precise, bursts through the finish and has plenty left in the tank. Huge amount of driving acidity, notes of grapefruit and yeast, a good hit of nutty/spicy oak and a fair amount of lemony bite. It needs a couple of years in the bottle but it should develop beautifully. I particularly enjoy the lactose-like aftertaste.
