The assertive palate evokes cranberry, sour cherry, star anise, underbrush and orange zest set against tightly knit, close-grained tannins that leave a rather drying finish, while racy acidity lends balance. It's still tight and youthfully austere, so give it ample time to fully open up and develop. Drink 2026–2041.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Wine Enthusiast 95 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNotable for its purity and supple texture, this red exhibits strawberry, cherry, currant and floral aromas and flavors, backed by a precise line of tannins. It feels balanced, if a little pinched by the tannins on the finish now.
