A gentle dollop of wood surrounds the notably ripe aromas of cassis, plum, violet and Asian-style tea. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that both imparts an opulent mouthfeel but also enrobes the moderately firm supporting tannins as well and in the process renders them less prominent on the mocha-infused finish. This is very good but in 2017 it does not necessarily outclass the Brûlées.
