OUTSTANDING, TOP VALUE -  there is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the wonderfully seductive if not quite as concentrated flavors that possess a caressing texture, all wrapped in a strikingly persistent finale that may well possess the best length of the range. With that said, this definitely needs better depth and my rating offers the benefit of the doubt that more will develop if given a chance. Recommended provided you intend to cellar it. BURGHOUND
