The bouquet comes across aged and weary with notes of dried cherry, prunes, and a hint of tar. However, the wine makes a comeback on the palate - exhibiting an almost perfect balance, mature tannin, and a freshness that defies its age. It remains juicy with a long aftertaste, where the fruit, remarkably, still holds its ground.
