This too is very ripe and particularly spicy though a good deal less exotic with more typical aromas of game, underbrush, Gevrey earth and hints of cassis that continue onto the rich, full and sleekly muscled flavors that are mouth coating and hugely long as the finish positively drenches the palate with dry extract. I really like the almost painful intensity here as well as the vibrancy of the finish. A seriously impressive wine that will require plenty of time in the cellar.
