The nose reminded me of walking thru the perfume aisle of a major department store. Mesmerizing scents of lavender, flowers and black cherry. The palate has extreme power but is very well balanced. Very tightly wound but there is no doubting that the structure will loosen up and provide many years of great drinking.

Decanted 2hours in advance, lovely nose dark cherries, packed with flowers and baking spice. Nice texture rich, powerful but great refreshing acidity. Long finish!
