"Here the nose plays right on the edge of reduction yet this does not materially constrain an appreciation of the well-layered apricot, wet stone, floral and citrus infused nose. There is impressive power and punch to the medium weight plus flavors that are focused, tight and linear today. This serious, brooding and mineral-inflected effort will need a few years to really find its center but it should be worth the wait."
