Great intensity but very noble. Almost grating energy but wonderful intensity. Fantastic texture, intensity and complete. Hidden. Liquorice.
Deep, rich meatiness, juicy fresh black fruits, bitter-sweet chocolate richness, ginger and cardamom, and chalky minerality are present throughout. This displays enough inner-mouth perfume and fineness of flavor to hold one’s interest..
A little reticent, showing subtle cherry and berry notes on a dense, rich profile. It’s peppery and vibrant, with sweet fruit, solid tannins and a long, long finish. Everything is in the right proportion.
...while the words "best ever" are presumptuous in a wine with such a distinguished history, the mere fact that it has the potential to be among the very best is praise enough.
