Tasting Notes

A completely different aromatic profile of ultra spicy and very pure black cherry, cassis and currant aromas underscored by anise, clove and cinnamon plus warm earth and mineral notes that carry onto the rich, suave, textured and even silky flavors that exude focused power, all wrapped in a linear and harmonious finish that possesses real energy and punch. This is a classy wine with superb refinement yet one that is underpinned by equally firm structure and I suspect that after a year or two where the considerable mid-palate sap will make this seem more accessible than it really is, it will descend into an extended hibernation that should be well worth the wait for the lucky few able to obtain bottles of this stunner of a wine.
