A discreet but unmistakable hint of secondary character is now present on the mostly red berry fruit-infused nose that is subtly laced with Asian spices, rose petal and anise nuances. There is fine intensity to the round and less obviously concentrated middle weight flavors that possess both good richness and solid if not exceptional mid-palate concentration, all wrapped in a sappy, focused and persistent finish. This isn’t quite at its apogee but note that it could easily be enjoyed now. 2019+
