Description:
Opaque in the glass, with vivid purple hues at the edge. It proves extremely concentrated and complex to the nose, which displays optimum ripeness and great focus while offering shifting aromatic impressions of black cherry, Italian cherry, black currant, violet, licorice, earth and vanilla: The whole unfolding more rapidly is typical for this bottling. Intense and full of "grip" on the palate, it delivers the chiseled clarity the nose promised, along with the ripeness. The mouthfeel is plush and polished, yet almost meaty; Firmed rather than blunted by tannins that never rise above the waves of cherry, currant, vanilla and baking spice that linger through the finish. Impressive and flavorful now and clearly one of the stars of its great vintage, it seems certain to improve for another eight to twelve years, and it may live thirty.
