Tasting Notes

A restrained, indeed even reticent nose is presently quite compact with only grudging notes of cassis, floral and warm earth visible. There is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the middle weight plus flavors that possess plenty of size, weight and power before culminating in a longer, serious and driving finish. For such a big wine this should drink reasonably well after only 5 to 7 years of bottle age.
