Very impressive showing.
Lots of rich dark fruit on the nose. On the palette, the wine displays a wonderful structure. Tannins are immature, but well poised. Mid palette has notes of sandalwood and asian spice, with a plush texture. Finishes moderately sweet. This need another 3-5 yrs in bottle, but it should evolve to be something special.

Quite harmonious with soft and gentle character, dense wine - tannins still young, needs time in cellar

I will somehow suffer through this off year with its harmonious balance and excellent execution. It's immediate appeal and charming forwardness (the hallmark of such junk years) can be overcome with much effort and determination. Everyone stay back; I'll take this one for the team.
