Muy joven todavía. Concentrado y finas maderas de nariz con una concentración evidente. Boca fantástica. Más vino que terruńo. Muy rico

Powerful, insane precision, telescopic layers of flavor and nuance, with a crazy long finish. So young, this is intensely complex, with great acidity and balance. Firm, full grain tannins that are ripe and long with the oak exceptionally integrated. Well structured and fresh this will easily age 25-30 years easy. Very good now, the potential is off the charts so check back in 5!
