This is almost aromatically mute at present and while a plethora of spice notes are visible, it requires aggressive swirling to liberate them. As with the Brûlées, there is an intoxicating inner mouth perfume where the opulence of the spice notes really becomes obvious. The stony, intense and strikingly well-detailed broad-shouldered flavors possess ample amounts of power and a sleek muscularity before terminating in a driving and explosive finish. This is exceptionally firmly structured and this is one to buy and forget in the cellar. Spectacular.
