not showing well now due to the tannins. it's dry and tough, with a resistance to the richness. yet the core of flavor is enormous. shows concentrated, flashy flavors of cherry marmalade, raspberry, orange blossom, cola, licorice, rose tea and spices that go on and on and continue to develop in the glass. the texture is pure silk and satin. needs 4–6 years to develop, and could go beyond that.
