The more reserved and broad-ranging nose combines notes of red and dark currant with those of floral, earth, game and leather, all of which is trimmed in soft wood. The supple and nicely vibrant barely medium weight flavors possess an attractive mouthfeel though not quite the same complexity on the mildly austere finale. Once again there isn't especially good density but this supple effort should be approachable young and with pleasure.
