P: LM body; NICE, almost swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which stays within hailing distance of the init frt as it evolves into a LONG, balanced finish with an elegant swtness to the still firming, dusty tannins, which *I* found unoffensive because of the swtness attached. Nonetheless, NEEDS food or cellaring through '22, then approaching its 20th? My EXC, higher with a BIT > time? 93 pts The Wine Front (Bennie, 1/17/12).
