An expressive and impressively complex nose is composed of notes of purple fruit, earth, rose, lavender and sandalwood hints. There is excellent richness and volume to the delicious yet entirely serious flavors that terminate in a moderately austere, saline, stony and firm finale. This well-balanced entry is also clearly going to require a minimum of 5 to 7 years of patience and reward at least 10 to 12.
