Bottled last September, this presents a garnet>ruby color with fading to the rim. The nose is sweet and powerful, and yet there's a subtlety I like, a delicacy about it; really pretty. The palate shows great freshness, with plenty of cool acidity; some tannins that need resolved, a little tartness. Red-fruited, nice soil tones, balanced, fresh. Medium-bodied with a finish that portends good things are yet to come. Very nice, with good potential for improvement. That said, give this at least 3-4 more years, the wait. will be worth it. 14,0% abv., drink 2022-2039. recommended
