A subtly kaleidoscopic nose offers a superb range of floral and spice elements that are too numerous to mention. There is outstanding volume to the concentrated full-bodied flavors that possess so much dry extract that the texture is borderline chewy on the massively persistent finish where again the only nit of import is a touch of warmth. This is class in a glass and a wine that should amply repay extended cellaring. This too is brilliant. - 94-97pts, Allen Meadows (Burghound)
