An exceptionally floral-inflected nose displays plenty of earth, underbrush and game hints on the still fresh and relatively primary nose as there is only a touch of secondary aromatic development. In the same fashion as the nose the broad-shouldered, powerful and concentrated flavors remain youthful if no longer hard thanks to the copious amount of palate coating dry extract that also serves to buffer the moderately firm tannic spine on the seriously persistent and well-balanced finale. I quite like this because while it is indisputably still on the way up it is sufficiently far along that it could be enjoyed now if given 30 minutes or so of air first.
