This is complex and has a distinctive regional mint thread, red rose-like perfume, cassis, black cherry, blue plum and spicy French oak. The palate is deeply flavored with dark plum, black cherry and blue fruit flavors, tannins are seamless, smooth and velvety, holds long and even, great wine. Drinking fine now, it has 15+ years of improving in bottle ahead of it.
