Discreet but not invisible wood sets off reserved and markedly ripe aromas of plum, spice, cassis and plenty of earth character. The concentrated big-bodied flavors possess copious amounts of palate coating dry extract that also serves to buffer the very firm tannic spine on the beautifully long and well-balanced finish. This is an imposing but not massive vintage for this wine though it is quite tightly wound and powerful so I would advise buying it only if you're prepared to allow at least a decade of cellar time first.
Thank you for submitting, we'll get back to you as quickly as possible.
