Introvert but quite dense and juicy. Lovely smooth satin texture. Fine. Racy. Satisfying. Admirable length. (JR)

There is enough reduction to suggest that this would benefit significantly from decanting it first if you wish to try a bottle young. Otherwise there is good punch and freshness to the delicious flavors that display a bit of acid tang on the saline finish. Note that the tanginess is accentuated by noticeable gas which is another reason that this would benefit from aeration. Tasted: Jun 11, 2013. Drink: 2015+
