Nose

Purple-colored, it delivers mineral notes, pain grille, pencil lead, clove, allspice, and cassis. - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate

Palate

On the mid-palate, black fruits, plum, and licorice make an appearance. Focused, intense, and complex, the wine conceals enough tannin to support 5-7 years of further cellaring. Opulent and long, it will be at its best from 2012 to 2025. - Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate
