Friday, April 10, 2015 - Dark ruby with very early stages of bricking on the rim. high viscosity with medium-minus staining in the legs. 2+ hours on the decant.
Aromas of medium+ intensity show floral scents of dried losses, violets (and and almost orchid scent), followed by new suede, cassis, cigar box, cherry, strawberry rhubarb pie, cranberry sauce, orange zest, and nutmeg followed by soft herbs like sage and dill, mahogany, sandalwood, forrest floor and a touch of cocoa rounds out the nose and shows the complexity and pedigree of this wine that appears to be in its prime.
Full and just as complex on the palate; feminine and graceful. A cornucopia of flavors, vanilla soaked cherries, homemade cranberry sauce, orange zest, rose petals, soft leather, dill, coconut, milk chocolate, cassis, rosemary, fennel pollen and mahogany with lighter touches of coffee and earth. Impeccably structured with medium+ acid, matching tannins and mid-palate density. The finish is long, graceful and not easily forgettable.

Overall, this feminine version is complex, and drinking extremely well
