" Big, bursting, magnificent nose packed with a concentration of dried fruit, dark berries and an explosion of spice. Incredibly rich palate with huge dried fruit component where apricot and prune are very visible along with orange rind, honey and lots of spice. Satin smooth, seamless flow across the palate with wide distribution of well aged fruit. Magnificently managed oak support. It is constantly there but never in the way of the fruit and spice. Big, full, mellow finish. Satisfying and relaxing in a luxurious way. "
