Medium garnet in color with an oranging rim. Soaring aromatics on the nose. Juicy red fruits, cherry, rhubarb, lingonberry, along with soil, leather and soft spice accents. Bright on the palate with a satiny/silky texture, combining a sense of finesse, elegance and weightlessness with a powerful attack that just feels effortless. Marvelously balanced and endless finish. This is more akin to mature Burgundy than anything else I’ve tried. Excellent bottle. Absolutely stunning.

Enjoying this more than I remember bottles I’ve opened in the last five years. Lots of fruit and fine tannins. Deep stewed prunes and sweet tobacco. Yum.

Super solid and drinking very nicely. Good color and lots of body - amazing for an 82.
