"A brooding, highly complex and powerfully earthy mélange of red currant, green tea, cassis, plum and dark berries gives way to broad-shouldered, concentrated and extract rich flavors that really coat the palate. There is a supple and round texture to the mouth feel with stunning intensity on the saline, austere and quite finely balanced finish that seems to go on and on. This is clearly built to age and will need plenty of it but the results should more than repay your patience."
