Friday, February 17, 2012 - Despite beirg vertical for over 24 hours, a superfine sediment still prevailed upon decanting, so alas no translucent purple, but hints of brick orange hint at a decade of cellaring. A splendidly complex bouquet reveals trampled violets , a suggestion of dried spices, (mace, cinnamon). On the palate rich and still impressively lively,with good acidity. Savoury black dried fruits and oak so well integratrated it bearly intrudes . The finish is long and luxurious, quite befitting a wine of this pedigree. Although this is drinking very well now, it will continue to evolve to efficacious effect over the next 8-10 years.
