"Amazing aromas of lilac, violet, crushed blueberry and mineral that turn to black pepper and spices follow through to a full-bodied, medium-sweet palate, with a long, chewy finish. Evolves to tar and asphalt. Really held back, yet powerful grip slaps you--and makes you happy. This is mind-blowing in texture. The greatest Dow ever made. [2010 WS Top 100: Rank 14]"
