brooding nose hints at licorice and minerals

This impressive effort is clearly built-to-age and is going to need it

The mid-palate of the larger-scaled flavors is supple and not especially dense though the austere finale tightens up substantially

A completely different aromatic profile is present here with its fresh and cooler dark berry fruit scents that are liberally sprinkled with notes of wild flower and the sauvage

Consistent with the nose the middle weight and even more intensely mineral-driven flavors are restrained and chiseled while displaying first-rate persistence on the bitter chocolate-inflected finish
