This was quite firmly reduced and I would strongly recommend a thorough aeration if you're going to try a bottle upon release. On the plus side there is a much sleeker mouth feel to the sappy and lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess both excellent concentration and evident power on the impressively intense saliva-inducing finale where the only nit is a hint of warmth. The intensity really builds as the finish sits on the palate and while this isn't an elegant wine, it certainly doesn't lack for character.
