Very tight and tense yet supremely enjoyable. A nose of smoked meat, raspberry, flowers, and a slight strawberry. The palate has great breadth and concentration yet delicate and ethereal while still feeling tightly wound. That said, there is a beautiful cool fruit of cherry and pomegranate but smoke, meat and crushed rocks dominate right now. Actually pretty good right out of the bottle but continuously develops and demands some time in the cellar. 2011
