♥ OUTSTANDING - BURGHOUND | A subtle touch of wood frames dark blue berry fruit and spice notes that continue onto the very rich, full and powerful flavors that offer plenty of muscle and volume if decidedly less elegance. However, this is no bruiser as the tannins are silky and while the oak is not subtle at present, this would appear to have the mid-palate concentration to successfully integrate it with time.
