This is the first wine to display any appreciable amount of reduction and once again it's enough to suppress the underlying fruit so decant this if you decide to rob the vinous cradle as it were. There is excellent volume and verve to the muscular big-bodied flavors that possess solid mid-palate concentration before terminating in a saline, robust and solidly structured finale. This will need at least 6 to 8 years of bottle age and benefit from 10 to 12.
