Here the nose is similar to that of the regular cuvée save for the fact that the fruit is slightly riper and denser. In the same vein as the nose the big-bodied flavors are denser and more powerful as the dry extract really imparts a textured palate impression on the sappy and velvety finale. This isn't quite as vibrant as the regular cuvée but there is even more underlying material and ultimately I suspect that this will make the better wine though it will require 20+ years to know for sure.
