"Incredibly floral and beautiful with dark berry, spice, cedar and mint. Chinese plums. Asian spices. Bark. Tea. Full body, dense and so soft and complex. The finish goes on for minutes. Endless and fine . . . . This reminds me of the gorgeous 1991 or 1964. Drink forever. A wine that you want to spend time with."
