More obvious wood sets off elegant, pure and restrained aromas of dark currant, spice and violet. As is always the case, there is more size, weight and power to the more concentrated medium-bodied flavors that flash a taut muscularity on the saliva-inducing and balanced finish. This is really quite good though it is on the oaky side at present and will need a few years of keeping so that it can better integrate. Drink: 2031+. Outstanding. Score - 90-93.
