Massive tannic structure, high acidity, purple and transparent. Far too tough right now, and may never balance its tannin. Still, very ethereal, pure and mineral. 2009 Vintage.

Cedar and Christmas attic on the nose, blackberry and current - still very young - decanted 3 hours. Wine could go another 5-10 years and will hold well. Certainly better than the 8.x ratings I'm seeing now.
