Friday, December 17, 2010 - Deep crimson/purple colour with a little lightening at the rim, but exquisite clarity. Nose of tobacco, pencil shavings, menthol, tar, liquorice and black fruit. So youthful on the palate! Beautiful dark cherry, blackberry and maybe a little anise on the palate with some subtle secondary earthy notes. Big fleshy midpalate and a long, long finish supported by the finest and most elegant tannins. A really classy and serious wine still drinking youthfully and very hard to resist. I will try and restrain myself for another 2-3 years until I open the next one.
