Massive, high-toned, cherry and blueberry fruit aromas are joined by an intriguing brushy note. The structure is what you’d expect from a wine of this pedigree, and it’s incredibly tight on the palate now. That said, it’s destined for real elegance. I’m not in the habit of dropping 100 points on a wine, but this is one of the few future candidates that I’ve come across. I’ll get back to you in about ten years if I get the chance. Wow!
