Bone dry. High acidity it seems. Nicely light in weight on the palate. Not giving up much fruit at this stage. Quite unevolved. Tannins still cutting a bit of an angular, hard edge.

Completely agree with the recent 95 point scores from WA and Galloni. A spectacular wine! My tasting note from 2012 is entirely consistent with this bottle; but the score is easily elevated by maturity. Maturity has yielded such a memorable wine, with complex layers of sweet, tobacco-kissed earth and a rich core of perfectly ripe berry fruit. An elegant, gracefully harmonious and integrated wine. Rich, but weightless. Fires on all cylinders from the nose through the finish. You could easily expect to pay three to four times the price for a mature wine of this quality.

A one-note wine of wood and black currants. Unmemorable. Not recommended.
