One thinks of the hyper-concentrated

The palate is well balanced and textured with soft round tannins and a pure fruit core shining through

Otherwise there is an almost painful intensity to the even more mineral-driven big-bodied flavors that offer strikingly good persistence if not quite the same depth on the youthfully austere finish

It has some slightly dusty tannins and is not as round or ripe as other plots with marked chalkiness from the limestone in the soils

Compact and racy with a very, very persistent finish. Big boned. A cylinder of tannins going through it. A fantastic young wine. Start drinking after 2030.
