This is riper still but still remains fresh and aromatically intriguing with its layered and highlycomplex yellow orchard fruit and spice nose that complements perfectly the rich full and beautifully concentrated mediumweight flavors brimming with dry extract and an explosive indeed palate staining finish that goes on and on. This is very firmlybuilt and is quite masculine in style though I note that it is by no means an inelegant wine.
