ITEM 10201730 - Removed from a temperature and humidity controlled wine storage unit
It has that incredible profile of power without weight...has a Lafite-like elegance and class in its aromatics as well as on the palate. Blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, loamy earth, freshly sharpened pencils, and graphite all define the bouquet...full-bodied, with incredible tannins and a broad yet seamless, pure, and precise mouthfeel.
...dense, powerful and explosive right out of the gate. Gravel, crushed rocks, spice, leather and tobacco lend striking aromatic complexity...super-impressive...
...opens with profound crème de cassis, blueberry preserves and chocolate mint scents, with hints of unsmoked cigars, cedar chest, clove oil and cast-iron pan. The medium to full-bodied palate has beautifully ripe, fine-grained tannins supporting the elegant black and blue fruit layers. Charged with energy, it finishes epically long and multilayered.
