This wine has opened up beautifully, the tannins providing excellent grip and length but with no harsh or dry edges. Full of ripe currant fruit with a smoky tobacco edge and touches of dark plum and bittersweet chocolate. Admirable mouth-coating texture and a feeling of real density. Nicely balanced, it seems to be entering a long period of top-flight drinkability. Quite elegant already. - HK 2014-06-13
