Tasting note: A pungent yet elegant nose displays an assortment of aromas that include oak, menthol, lilac, rose petal, red and dark currant and whispers of earth and game. There is excellent volume to the very rich and seductively textured big-bodied flavors that possess velvety mid-palate before tightening up immediately into a tautly muscular, very firm and beautifully persistent finish. This is very much built-to-age and is going to need plenty of it before it resolves its considerable tannins.
