This is still showing some post-bottling sulfur and not surprisingly the nose is reduced. If for some reason you're tempted to try a bottle in the next year I would strongly suggest that this be decanted for 30 minutes first. Otherwise there is excellent intensity, muscle and power to the concentrated, mineral-driven and broad-shouldered flavors that already display superb complexity and simply huge length. At the same time this is presently very tight and the austerity of the linear finish confirms that this is very likely to require 12 to 15 years to realize its full potential.
