This has everything going for it this evening, hitting on all cylinders. Showing some tertiary characteristics but, at the same time, quite youthful. I've recently been sensitive to high alcohol, but this carries it's 15% wonderfully. Currently entering it's long, 5+ year, drinking window. Just an all-around great wine.
