2009 Quivet Cabernet Sauvignon Kenefick Ranch

(15.2% alcohol): Full ruby-red. Black fruits, dark chocolate and licorice on the nose. Dense, pure and smooth if a bit youthfully clenched, with a medicinal cast to the dark berry and licorice flavors. There are no hard edges here but today the wine's fruit is dominated by its structure. Cleanly made and intense, but will this wine gain in pliancy and complexity with bottle age?
