This is right up there with the best in recent memory. Wonderfully complex on the nose. Blackberries, cassis, raspberry, violets, cedar, tobacco, graphite and pencil shaving, something exotic there too, rummy and clove. Medium-full on the palate, superb detail and elegance. The fruit and spice complexity seems effortless yet intense. Juicy cassis, violet, pencil graphite and cigar box. Excellent acidity and balance. This’ll age like a gem. This is a beautiful wine.
