Camphor, cedar, violet and ground clove aromas come to the forefront. Full-bodied and elegantly structured, the savory palate offers cherry marinated in spirits, licorice and tobacco set against a backbone of tightly wound, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well-balanced and precise. With its heroic structure, this needs time to fully come around and shows marathon aging potential. Drink 2028–2048. 97 points.
