This is ripe but attractively fresh with briar and floral hints on the mostly dark pinot fruit suffused nose. There is good depth to the silky and admirably pure middle weight flavors that possess good phenolic maturity to the supporting structural elements, all wrapped in a clean, agreeably dry and austere finish. This will not be for everyone as the austerity is not subtle but I very much like the linear, focused and well-balanced finale. (AM)
