A more slightly restrained example, in large part due to the age. Nose displays cherry blossom and blueberries. Still possesses the grainy tannins and espresso notes on the palette. Oak profile is subtle. Acid is soft and complements the tannins perfectly. I consider this to be on its plateau. Drink over the next 24 months if you prefer a more youthful tasting experience.

This wine is so nuanced on the nose and palate. Black fruits and mint on the nose, with strawberry jam and brown sugar. Sweet oak notes extend and expand. Regal tannins provide ample structure. Drink now or cellar for many years. This is gonna stand still and further improve. Impressive.
