In contrast to the expressive of many wines in the range this is restrained to the point of requiring aggressive swirling to coax the overtly spice and markedly earthy aromas of black cherry, plum and violets to reveal themselves. There is superb volume, power and mid-palate concentration supporting the extract-rich big-bodied flavors that possess evident muscle and punch on the mouth coating and stunning persistent finale. This is also very firmly structured; indeed it's borderline chewy today and this too qualifies for inclusion in the 'forget you own it' category.
