A vague hint of exotic fruit suffuses the nose of melon, citrus confit and white orchard fruit aromas. The bigger-bodied flavors possess excellent volume and mid-palate density along with plenty of sappy dry extract that imparts an attractive texture while also buffering the moderately firm acid spine shaping the tautly muscular and impressively persistent finish where a touch of austerity slowly emerges. This is a powerful yet reasonably refined wine that already possesses excellent depth. One to strongly consider. BH
