Sunday, June 10, 2012 - Decanted for two hours, utilizing a funnel. The perfect colour: dark-violet, garnet and the rim is a thin beam of maroon. An erotic nose of black cherry, orange peel, currant paste, all spice, tobacco and gravel. Refined, and literally seamless, silky tannins; an endearing mid-palate that is echoing a lot of dark fruit. Very approachable, yet suitable for long, long-term aging - in fact, this will be exquisite fifty years from now. A deep pool of flavor, with a savory and long aftertaste. A modern classic. This might go through a relatively short dumb phase in the next year or two. Drink 2018 -.
