Friday, August 29, 2014 - Dark purple color turning violet/ruby at the rim. The nose is exquisitely perfumed with notes of dark berry fruit, tobacco, leather and incense. The palate is bold, full-bodied and intense, yet ultra-silky in texture. Flavors of currant, graphite, liqueur, plum, fig, and espresso come together in a great blend that's layered, balanced and bright in acidity. This is really attractive, sexy and flamboyant. But for all its preamble (on the nose and even on the massive mid-palate), the finish is a bit short. Drink now with a 30-minute decant until 2024.
