Vinous further notes a glycerin weight and a demi-glace-like unctuosity, complemented by hints of smoke, tobacco, mint, and black stone fruit. The producer describes fine aromas of woodland undergrowth, a deep, intense color, distinct ripe fruit, and powerful tannins. 【Highly acclaimed vintage with significant aging potential, earning 97 points from Wine Spectator and Robert Parker】.
