This is very ripe, indeed to the point of being plumy and jammy but it's not roasted or port-like and despite the ripeness, it remains relatively reserved with extremely concentrated and tannic flavors of obvious size, weight and punch that have, despite my early reservations, come together beautifully. This is a very impressive wine for the vintage but also one that will require patience and plenty of it.
