Stunning nose. Buffet is so great. Deep cherry, deep black cherry, deep berries, plum, spice, lavish minerals, layered and deep. Wow, palate is stacked. Pure fruit, tons of cherries, impressive concentration. Energetic edges but creamy in the middle. Dense, structured and energetic with big, imposing but ripe tannins. The lower wines are terrific for now in 18, but the higher ones once they age will be legend. But they will need age. Wonderful finesse and elegance but big late breaking ripe and juicy tannins.
