Lovely deep brooding nose of prunes, violets, iris- more floral than i thought it would be- with an undertone of maturity- leather and wet earth. On the palate, sweet spice, herbal medicinal touches and pencil shavings. Slightly dusty. Finish wasn't very long. Good vibrant acidity and soft tannins. Could have another 5 years ahead of it. Decanted at the restaurant and drank over 3 hours. Needed at least 1 hour to open up.
