Nose is reminiscent of an aged Bdx. It's restrained but gives up olives, black currants and ripe cherries.
The palette is perfectly structured. Tannins and acidity are impeccable. Finishes ethereal with cloves, tobacco, charcoal and ripe cherries. This has not moved since bottling. It has another 10 yrs of runway, easily.

Great-took an hour to open-silly and velvety-red raspberries, fairly light on its feet. Anise dill, nice herbal backbone.
