this is an amazingly complex wine and a fine expression of the cool vintage. perhaps the most notable feature is acidity; it's strong, almost tingly, and will certainly help the wine age. the flavors are explosive yet refined, with notes of cherries, cola, pomegranates and plums. good as it is to drink now, you'll want to cellar it until 2018, and it will provide beauty for many additional years.
