Beautiful intensity, floral and chalky nose with fine smoke, five spices, violet, ripe dark blackberry, cherry, plum and discreet oak in the background. Very dense but with a vital freshness, finely polished tannin, layers of vibrant dark fruit, high ripeness but perfectly balanced with a wealth of spicy blackberry, cherry, some wood and tobacco notes. Powerful yet silky with tremendous length, power and elegance.
