A little held back on the nose, but the palate has lovely concentration. It has good textural complexity, with a dry grip that could handle food well. There's a deep, fleshy stone fruit complexity here, as well as a mineral side like wet stones and rocks. Apple flesh, yellow plums, and a little tiny hint of creaminess. Good stuff.
