On the nose, amazing sweet, ripe, bright; dark cherries, cherries, blackberries, dry cranberries & rhubarb. Hints of black licorice, menthol & eucalyptus with fresh & dry dark florals. The body is lean and completely resolved. The fruits are amazingly bright, sweet and fresh. This is a bottle you never want to see it empty as you want to sip this all night. The wine is crushingly delicious. Sweet, dark cherries, cherries, poached strawberries, rhubarb, lean blackberries & dry cranberry. Ultra soft, delicate minerality, atouch of underbrush, sweet tobacco leaf, the softest suede leather imaginable, saddlewood, dripping acidity and lean elegant finish the is very well balanced. A real treat to drink wines at this age out of magnum.

Wonderfully balsamic with rosemary and all spice. Acidity still driving this gravy train. Delish.
