The only wine from this producer where I detect tarry notes: lovely depth and aromas of eucalyptus. Waves of aromatic complexity well up -leather, chocolate, tobacco, rich dark cherry fruit- those aromas sound developed but it has a sense of freshness and energy. Tannins are very well managed- prominent but round and fine. I reckon this needs a decade, but it's got so much potential.
