Very big and rich. A slightly active shrill thing on the nose. Very rich plum and cherry. Roses and violets. A beast but rounded and under control. A bit much for my taste but it has some balance and purity that is admirable

All my scores are rolling to the center of the bed at around 95 pts, but I call it as I taste it. This is big and opulent. Very interesting which finishes super sweet and complex. My first Saxum.
