all the parts are here, but they're not yet in complete harmony. the black-currant flavor is strong and deep; the tannins are thick and dramatic; and the acidity is fresh and stimulating. oak is evident, with notes of buttered cinnamon toast, and the finish is long and spicy. all indications are of a wine that needs serious time in the cellar. give it until at least 2015.
