"Nearly full opacity. Spicy bouquet with esteva, pine resin and creosote. Medium-full weight and off dry entry. Floral and long, with massive ripe tannins yielding a VP with long term cellaring potential. A classy wine that is a wee bit young and needs time to mellow. I believe this has another half century of upside from here. Excellent!"
