A discreet but not invisible application of oak surrounds an ultra-spicy, ripe and agreeably fresh nose that is comprised by a beautiful array of black berries, plum and exotic Asian tea scents. In much the same fashion as the 2013 version the big-bodied flavors are robust, muscular and mineral-inflected before terminating a palate coating finish that goes on and on. I should point out that while this is not especially complex at present my score envisions that much more will develop. I say this not only because there is excellent underlying material but also because this wine has a fabulous track record for developing beautifully over time.
Reduction once again dominates the fruit. Otherwise there is terrific intensity and punch to the muscular and mineral-inflected medium weight plus flavors that possess plenty of palate coating dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannic spine on the beautifully complex and persistent finish. This robust effort is going to necessitate at least 5 to 6 years of bottle age first and reward 10 to 12.
