Though quite reserved there is a lovely freshness, indeed even elegance to the cool, pure and layered nose of earthy and spice red currant, humus and floral scents. The big, bold and muscular broad-shouldered flavors also possess plenty of mouth coating dry extract that helps to buffer the very firm tannins before terminating in a backward and austere but gorgeously long, balanced and complex finish. This distinctly old school and overtly powerful effort is once again pointless to buy unless you have the express intention of cellaring it for at least 10 to 12 years.
