Medium light copper. Starts with a focused touch of peach; then comes a considerable blast of ground walnut and honey, dried fruit, and an aromatic herbal note. Medium-sweet and medium-bodied, with a cool-mint slate-earth taste; slickly and powerfully acidic, complex, deep, and deft, with a neat smoky-minerally finish, quite expressive. Both powerful and dancingly light on its feet. Hasn't really started its development yet, and, despite all its style, it's not even into the baby-fat stage.. Its malic-dominated acidity needs some time to unwind, and it may have a little trouble before really settling down for the long haul. 2013-2030. Went well with broiled pork 'porterhouse' and a rather delicate Gulf of Mexico ocean fish whose name escapes me, but whose taste reminded me of halibut or Dover sole.
OK, Barbara, after what it's shown me on the second day I'll split the 92nd point with you!
