Tons of power on this, both acidity and tropical fruit. Great balance with potential for aging. Monster of wine as of now

'12 vintage.
Pale straw color for this SB. Green nose on the herbal side, habanero and Serrano pepper but there a resonating guyaba/passion fruit that is quite sexy. I love the tension the acidity brings on the palate and it tightens your tongue and unleashes a vibrancy that is quite unique. I must admit that I have never had such a SB. It's not mineral nor chalky, not opulent or viscous. Barrique, like SE red is absolutely perfectly controlled. It's here, but it's not. A beautiful wine.
