Super generous and suave, with melted tannins, almost-sweet fruit, chocolate, mint, cherry cream, oodles of indulgent spices and ripe fruit, and then the tannins tighten up to give great structure. So concentrated and layered, showing finesse and subtlety with power. It’s intricate, complex, age-worthy and harmonious. Drinkable now if you must, but best from 2035.
