Quality
- Outstanding
Sweet, enticing nose, intense black fruits and lots of sweet oak, pretty smoky, slightly vegetal, balanced with ample acidity and well integrated, silky smooth tannins. 14.5% alcohol contributes to the mouthfeel but you don't feel the burn at all. Spicy, complex, yet dangerously easy drinking. Can't say it's cheap with a US$80 price tag, but I'd say it's worth every penny. Drink or hold.

Suitable for bottle ageing.
