This is at once riper yet even more complex with its array of openly sauvage and earthy aromas of forest floor, dark berries and smoke that are trimmed in a background application of wood. As is almost always the case the middle weight plus flavors are bigger, richer and more powerful with an ample amount of dry extract buffering the firm tannic spine on the tightly wound finale. This is also very impressive and while it could certainly be enjoyed after only a few years of bottle age, it should also liberally repay extended keeping. Highly recommended.
