Given the vintage I expected a lot of concentration and lower acid, but this was very pretty, alive and ready to go today at lunch. Great elegance, nice tertiary development, lovely tannin/acid balance. Earthy, turned soil, turned leaves, cigar, candied red apple skin, dried cherry and blackberry, sandalwood. Nice treat
