A subtly toasty nose offers up a plethora of spice elements along with earthy and very cool yet ripe dark berry fruit and floral aromas. There is gorgeous intensity to the relatively large-scaled flavors that possess fine delineation on the extract-rich mid-palate before culminating in a refined yet serious finish that delivers excellent length. This is clearly built to age but again should be accessible after only 6 to 8 years of age.
