May 31, 2017 - This one's been open for a few hours by now. Aromas are bright, lean, and fairly elegant, showing sweet tart cranberry and powdered minerals. Definitely on the light side but very pretty. Palate enters with tons of vibrant intensity. This is a real beauty, with acid for days cutting through a rich bright strawberry profile with prolific fine grained tannins throughout. Tons of minerals and acidity balance that elegant fruit on the palate very nicely. The finish is similar, with a ton of beautifully integrated structure, high acid and high tannins, with just a tinge of the cranberry fruit lingering. This is a very young wine but an utter beauty to age over the long term. This is 91 for current consumption, but knowing what it can become makes me want to go even higher because that knowledge is enjoyable too. This needs at least 5 years to integrate some of that structure and will drink well beyond 10-15. One of the nicer 2014's yet.
