"The most complex nose in the range features a panoply of spice elements along with exceptionally fresh and dense black fruit, violet and plum aromas. There is excellent power to the focused, intense and attractively vibrant broad-shouldered flavors that possess a firm yet silky mouth feel before terminating in an explosively long and incredibly seductive finish. This built-to-age beauty is structured but not forbidding and should be approachable after 10 years or so though it will require 15 to 18 years for it to fully resolve all the underlying tannin."
