Rich hazelnut and stone fruit aromatics show impressive concentration. The palate delivers weight and texture while maintaining crisp backbone. Creamy through the middle before tightening to a mineral, austere close. Built for the long haul but currently wound tight from recent bottling. Give it two years to settle and show its true character.
