"Remarkably, there is absolutely no bricking. This is still almost completely primary with notes of very ripe yet fresh dark berry fruit aromas that are cut with hints of earth, spice, stone and cassis that complement well the intense, precise and notably mineral-suffused medium weight flavors that pack ample power and punch on the very firm and impressively lingering finish. This is still at least 10 years away from its peak and will certainly last much longer. Patience required, even at almost 20 years of age."
