There is some secondary development to the overtly spicy and markedly ripe aromas of plum, dark berries, violet and a certain earthy character. There is excellent concentration to the equally ripe, rich and velvet-textured big-bodied flavors that possess excellent muscle and power yet despite all of the size and weight, this remains balanced if perhaps not as refined as it usually is. I quite liked this and while I am not in general a big fan of the vintage, this is really quite good. I would note that the richness is so pronounced that even though this is not yet at its peak, it is still most enjoyable.
