A notably ripe and quite deeply pitched nose combines notes of dark currant, earth, underbrush and discreet humus nuances. There is fine richness and plenty of punch to the attractively voluminous and admirably concentrated medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by surprisingly sleek tannins on the firm, highly complex, lengthy and well-balanced finish where the only minor blemish is a trace of warmth. This firm and dusty effort will need all of a decade to shed its core of slightly raspy tannins and become more user friendly.
