" Deep core with wide, brick edge. Nose is redolent with mature characters with herbal notes. Despite the age still has a lively, fresh entry into the mouth with ample dark, ripe fruit al beautifully rounded and mellow. Some forest floor, leafy notes add to the attraction. Super smooth tannins and finest texture. Generous with spice highlights. Long, controlled, satisfying finish. Still has lots of life to offer. "
