NOSE: expressive purple fruits; damp earth; hints of crushed rocks and leather/funk; gentle spiciness.

BODY: garnet-violet color of medium depth; medium-light bodied; slight bricking.

TASTE: ripe red/purple fruits; powerful, yet elegant; lovely back-end herbal note; pleasant mid-palate specks of spice (perhaps oak-derived?); seamless; plum; black cherry; fig; incredibly delicious!; medium+ acidity; no tannin; alcohol is a tiny bit noticeable; in its prime drink window now, but not tired; I'm not sure there's any room for further improvement, so Drink Now and over the next few years. Truly phenomenal wine!

50, 5, 13, 18, 9 = 95
