Interestingly this is quite spicy with its pretty mélange of both upper and lower register aromas that include undertones of earth and game nuances to the notably floral top notes. There is outstanding richness to the big-bodied, intense and lush flavors that possess plenty of mouth coating extract that helps to buffer the markedly firm tannic spine on the austere, saline and well-balanced finish. I very much like the persistence and if this can add more depth than I foresee at present this could exceed my predicted range. Drink 2028+.
