Firmly structured and demanding patience. The tannins grip with authority while red cherry and citrus peel struggle to emerge from beneath a veil of cedar, warm spice and earthy minerals. Shows lovely purity when coaxed from the glass, but this needs 3-5 years to shed its youthful austerity and reveal its true character.
