The aromas are reduced out of the gate. Beyond that are appealing notes of brown stem and spice. The palate brings flavors of freshly brewed tea, tangerine and dark cherry. They are full in feel, with abundant cherry notes and cinnamony tannins. There's a freshness that ups the enjoyment, along with a sense of purity. This is much more about the future than the present. It has a very, very long life ahead of it. Best after 2027, but whenever you open it, you're in for a real treat.
