Medium purple hue. My goodness, but this is an impressive glass of wine! Complex, assured nose of blackcurrant, cassis, vanilla, tobacco, cigar ash, cedar, cinnamon, clove, plum, dark cherry, and dried blueberry. Deserving of a place in anyone's cellar at this price, showing a gorgeous palate redolent of oak and black fruit but with huge complexity encompassing black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, tobacco, cocoa powder, vanilla, clove, cedar, charred wood and gun smoke. Quite astonishing! 2029-2035 – MP
