Well worth the wait as suggested by the vintners. Light smoke and earthy elements with a touch of limestone. Good medium body mouthfeel and well softened tannins carrying fully ripened plums combined with dark currants. Somewhere between lavender and eucalyptus in the finish add a little fun to the finish. Glad I have two more bottles to check again in a year to see how this vintage continues to finish out.

Very nice PS. Mellowed out and it doesn't feel "hot." Soft yet light tannins. Tasted well the next day.
