"Somewhat subdued and reserved on the nose with the classic nose of Asian spices hoisin soy and a trace of oak followed by sweet long structured and beautifully complex flavors. There is fine length here and the power is impressive. This is still a bit tight but this is finally beginning to unwind. I would give this another 5 to 7 years in the cellar and drink over the next 10 to 15 years. Consistent notes as I have tasted this many times."
"Excellent showing a minerally concentration that gives it a silky feel on the midpalate. Lots of great acidity makes it fresh and zesty. Medium-bodied with lovely red berry flavor and firm gripping tannins that provide a chewy finish. Expect a rather lean wine not an opulent one.-"
