ITEM 10201791 - Removed from a temperature and humidity controlled wine storage unit
Gentle sage and pipe tobacco nuances accent ripe red and black cherries, plus there are hints of fine suede and complex notes of dried spices...full-bodied and concentrated, richly tannic but ripe, silky and fine. There's a certain elegance and generosity here, despite the large-scale tannins. Great stuff.
...mineral depth and tension are amazingly persistent, lingering for minutes at a time...noticeable mineral intensity and floral aromatics to its wholly pleasing palate, it offers full-bodied and sensual appeal, especially in its juicy, plummy mouthfeel underscored by superbly textured tannins...has a seamless quality in its lengthy, crushed stone minerality, blackberry and cassis flavours, and wild herb and dried violet notes.—the epitome of grace and power.
...gorgeously concentrated, full-bodied, ultra-fine, and pure...classic notes of red and black currants, chalky minerality, flowery incense and hints of roasted coffee. It stays relatively compact and focused on the palate, with fine tannins, just about perfect balance, and a great finish.
