Classic ruby. An intensely sauvage, cool and relatively airy red currant suffused nose that is also distinctly mineral-inflected leads to solidly structured and overtly muscular flavors that finish with some dryness. There appears to be more than sufficient phenolic ripeness to avoid the dryness so it's possible that there is still some unabsorbed sulfur from the bottling but otherwise, it's not clear that this is going to harmonize before it dries out. My score reflects this caution.
