A spicy nose is comprised almost exclusively by sous-bois and soft earth scents though with background hints of herbal tea and earth nuances. There is both good detail and intensity to the sleek and delicious middle weight flavors that possess fine depth and very good length where about the only concern is a hint of backend dryness. While the balance is not perfect this is really quite good for what was a difficult vintage. With that said, it's time to drink up even in magnum format as this risks drying out in time.
