round and seductively textured flavors that possess good punch and persistence along with fine depth on the mouth coating and very well-balanced finale

a gently grainy frame and great freshness

Readers will have to be patient with the 2015

The tannins are dense but quite fine and this offers outstanding upside development potential

compact and well-balanced finale

There is excellent intensity and power to the imposingly constructed medium weight plus flavors that are blessed with plenty of dry extract that renders the still firm tannic spine almost invisible on the impeccably well-balanced and palate staining finish

With its cherry notes and some darker

but short of the real class of a better vintage

A brooding and reticent nose only grudgingly displays notes of spice

pure and fresh nose that offers up notes of yellow orchard fruit
