Intriguing flecks of musk and mushroom color the deep vein of dried red and black fruit on the nose and this tandem of fruit and savory notes is played out also on the palate, which is full-bodied with very fine tannins that have started to sink into the wine. Very intense and focused with persistent, cordial-like fruit through the long, long finish. The balance and poise here are notable and this is well set for a long life. But very tempting to drink now.
