Here too there is just enough wood to remark upon setting off the notably fresh but deeper pitched aromas of plum, violet, Asian-style tea and ample spice nuances. There is a bit more volume to the seductively textured medium weight flavors that possess a supple mid-palate that contrasts with the tightly wound and gorgeously long finale. This is a classic Suchots that delivers excellent power with no apparent weight and one that should be approachable young if desired.
