Was expecting a much heavier wine, but this was more elegant on the palate. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of concentration, lots of fruit and well integrated oak. Modern for sure, but with focus. Vivid black cherry, blackberry, mocha, plum and tobacco rise easily from the glass and fan out on the palate. Medium+ tannin and body. The finish is fine but long.
