Huge, dense, and loaded with minerals, ash, and resinous, chewy fruit. Incredibly youthful, powerful, and relatively unevolved. A bit on the rustic side. Not monolithic, but still quite primary, which at 45 is pretty remarkable. In 68, Mastroberardino seemed to have found the fountain of youth. This is really good stuff, but not sure what to make of the glacial pace at which this has developed.
