This is one of the few wines in the range that displayed any appreciable reduction and here it's enough to mask the nuance of what is clearly ripe fruit. On the palate there is seriously good volume and even better density to the powerful and tautly muscular imposingly scaled flavors that also coat the mouth with dry extract on the markedly dry and hugely long finale. This is also very much built for the longer-term yet it's not so structured that it couldn't be approached after 8 to 10 years of keeping.
