A mature, yet still ruby colored wine with bricking at the edge. Hugely aromatic with meaty and earthy notes, violets, blueberries, tons of perfume, dark cherries and dates. On the palate, beautifully textured and meaty with a touch of soy showing its age. Great midpalate presence and to use a poor description, smooth as silk. Like drinking perfumed water. A touch of cocoa and iron/ heme on the finish and a nice mineral backbone. Wow. 95 pts.
