Note: 45+ year old vines. A more floral-suffused nose of violet and lavender enjoys additional breadth in the form of earth, spice, ripe black currant and a strong suggestion of the sauvage. There is a lovely minerality suffusing the reasonably dense and intense middleweight flavors that exhibit excellent length on the youthfully austere, serious and compact finale that offers even better depth. Lovely though note well that this is very much built-to-age and a wine that's going to require at least some patience. In a word, excellent.*Burghound Outstanding!*
