Wow. This has lots of crushed red fruit - it is more dense and plush than all the other wines but has less raisin fruit and more pure red and black cherries. It has a massive, massive structure but also has so much acidity and richness that it all knits together very well. The finish lasts well over a minute. Super complex and super impressive.
Underbrush, tilled soil, blue flower, pipe tobacco and wild berry aromas mingle together with leather and menthol. Firmly structured and enveloping, the delicious palate doles out raspberry compote, dried cherry, baking spice and star anise, while tightly woven but fine-grained tannins provide support. It's nicely balanced, with bright acidity. It's already tempting, but hold for even more complexity. Drink 2023–2043.
