Tasting note: Firm reduction overshadows the fruit today. The rich but focused and solidly powerful medium-bodied flavors possess very good mid-palate density as well as outstanding length on the youthfully austere if decidedly warm finale. The warmth isn't really enough to detract from the overall sense of balance, but it would be fair to observe that this isn't quite as harmonious as the best of these villages level wines.
