Focused and rich. If I had to nitpick, it's a little thin in the mid, but good length to the finish with ripe fruity tannins.

Tonight's tasting: group ranked 3 of 4. A bit tight at first but eventually aromas of blueberry and earth, some telltale antiseptic brett aromas too. Intense black and blue fruit on the palate with firm tannins. An hour in the glass and it smoothed out. Definitely needs a couple more years of bottle age.
