At PnP, it actually seemed much more Zin like but with a bit more structure. Almost verging on jammy with blackberry and pollen with a bit of almost buttermilk tang. But with a bit of air it gets first more creamy as the oak elements integrate and then finally structured and sum hints of pencil lead and that is the most Petite like it got over 5 hours. Simultaneously bright, but dark. Dense but elevated. Never overly complex or precise, but it has an energy that keeps it from plodding. A very nice wine.

Once a brute, this blackberry-heavy beaut has softened and opened into a really elegant expression.
