In contrast to the prior wines, here there is almost no visible oak influence and this contributes greatly to this wine's excellent transparency. The brooding nose is distinctly floral with cool dark berry fruit, stone and spice inflected aromas that merge seamlessly into rich, textured and mouth coating large-scaled flavors that possess excellent underlying material on the very firmly structured finish. I very much like the sophistication of this quite stylish effort though note that this will not be an early drinker; indeed it will need at least 15 years of cellaring before it arrives at its full potential.
