" Moderate reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background at present. Otherwise, there is a sleek mouthfeel to the highly energetic medium weight flavors that also possess a relatively supple texture that tightens up substantially on the mineral-driven, youthfully austere and sneaky long finish. This too could use a bit more depth, but this is a wine that consistently develops well in bottle. "
