Tasting Notes

A spicy, pure, cool and reserved nose blends highly complex aromas of dark currant, violet, lavender, earth and game, all of which is trimmed in soft wood nuances. There is once again an overt muscularity and unabashed power to the broad-shouldered and concentrated flavors that terminate in an austere, palate staining and strikingly persistent finish that is very firmly structured. This beauty is really quite well-balanced as the only nit is a very mild hint of warmth but like the Rugiens, it would be pointless to open a bottle before at least 10 years have gone by. Drink 2036+. Don't miss!
