The nose is bright, clear and shows precise dark fruit – very impressive. There is plenty of slightly grainy tannin backed by very good acidity. It seems clearly a wine of Morey with it’s physique of well-defined muscle. Although long, the last part of the mid-palate and the finsh still betray a lot of oak flavour and texture. This will need the best part of 18 months to come into balance, otherwise very impressive wine of intensity and tension.
