A deft touch of wood sets off scents of violets as well as essence of red berry fruit that merges into seductively textured, rich and mouth coating flavors that evidence a subtle mineral streak on the velvety and sappy finish. I like the balance as well as the well integrated structure that should enable this to offer 7 to 9 years of improvement. (90 92) 2017+
