An ultra-elegant nose displays admirably pure red berry fruit, floral and spice notes. There is equally good purity to the rich, intense and remarkably vibrant flavors that possess excellent volume along with an abundance of dry extract that confers a velvety texture to the linear, well-balanced and moderately austere finish. It is a very good thing that there is so much sap because this is especially firmly structured and will need every bit of 20+ years in this format to fully resolved the prominent underlying tannins. 2025+
