A discreet application of wood sets off cool, pure and complex aromas of freshly crushed red berries, spice and a hint of violet. There is both excellent volume and solid concentration to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a gorgeous mouthfeel while exhibiting very fine length on the powerful, serious and slightly longer finale. This is already quite good and while it should repay a decade or more of cellaring, it should be approachable after only 5-ish or so years.
