While subtle there is, yet again, enough reduction present to push all of the aromas save for the floral hints to the background. There is a pungently intense minerality to the tension-filled, linear and driving medium weight flavors that exhibit fine length on the mildly austere and restrained finish. The complexity here is remarkable and I very much admire the harmony of elements between the concentration of the mid-palate and the structural elements. The reduction is probably less of a concern here than in several others among these 2012s.
