A notably ripe yet wonderfully fresh nose displays its super-spicy aromas of red currant, cherry, raspberry, green tea and lavender. There is terrific verve and power to the big-bodied, mineral-driven and concentrated flavors that deliver superb depth and length on the almost painfully intense finale. However, despite all of the concentration and overt muscularity this very, very firmly structured effort remains faultlessly well-balanced though note well that this is going to require an extended snooze in a cool cellar. This is reference standard Malconsorts though I feel the need to emphasize that it's presently so compact that it's pointless to open a bottle now.
