Day 1 a bit hard and the oak slightly too apparent and alcohol seemed high-ish. Day 2 much better and integrated as it unfurled, good verve, acidic streak, beeswax, musky notes, zingy lemon, grapefruit, and good minerality. Probably best in 3-5 years. 88-89 day 1, day 2 around 91-92 (so giving this the benefit of the doubt on the better showing for such a young wine).
