Compact and tight on the nose, with reticent fruit tones under a distinctly oaky overlay. There is nice balance on the nose, though it is skewed towards the wood at the moment. Restrained yet full of sweet black cherry and black raspberry fruit on the palate. This is elegant and firm with fine balance and nicely judged wood framing the fruit. With time, lovely herb and faint spice notes emerge in the mouth. The tannins are soft and the acidity well integrated with a touch of meatiness emerging on the backend. The moderately long finish reveals a menthol edge and some boysenberry tones. This is not flashy at all but really is lovely with wonderful balance. 91pts
