Saturday, March 16, 2013 - This was very structured and seems a good candidate to close up pretty hard soon. For now, though, despite there being a lot of tannin, the grain is powdered enough that it doesn't seem harsh, and the material has this sheer, slender presence that takes all that muscle and puts it in a feminine package. The result is very, very drinkable. Nevertheless it was one of those wines where most of the aromatic expression takes place in the first two minutes, when it offered an interesting scent of stony earth on top of the fruit, and then it got much more shy.
