Tasting note: An intensely floral and earthy nose displays outstanding complexity on the dark currant and game scents that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is excellent richness to the full-bodied and attractively energetic flavors that possess impressive mid-palate density, all wrapped in a powerful, well-detailed and strikingly persistent finish. This is a bit less youthfully austere than usual and is indisputably built-to-age. In a word, terrific.
