Richer, more unctuous, than expected. Tightens up with some air. May be more compelling with more bottle age.

Chenininy for sure. Muted nose upon opening. Good structure and balance. Chewy almost. Nice power and concentration. Needs to sort itself out. Finished powerfully mineral.

Beautiful last night. Just coming out of its shell. Perfect balance. Bright and hinting at great depth.
