A moderately toasty nose is composed by notes of the essence of wild dark berries and humus along with soft spice and floral nuances. There is a bit better mid-palate density to the richer if less obviously mineral-driven and refined flavors that display good delineation on the powerful, focused and youthfully austere finish. This is also sufficiently firm to need at least a decade of keeping to resolve the supporting structure.
