Top Notes For
Initially a bit monolithic, after an hour decant the nose was sour cherry kirsch and utterly intoxicating. From entry to its incredibly long finish, velvety smooth, feminine and lithe, loaded with shades of cherry, camphor, iodine and dark chocolate-laced espresso. Just enough lively tannins to keep it taut but without a discernible crease let alone a hard edge. This was possibly the finest Super-T and among the best wines I’ve ever tasted.
