With the Wine Group, Nose of earth, apple, grapefruit, citrus, shale, slate, and brioche, same on the palate, big body, elegant, at it's peak, much younger than the last bottle from this cellar, creamy texture evolved during the tasting, very rich fruit, mouth filling fruit, and a long, long, long, flavorful finish, I would enjoy now rather than hold longer.
