Mineral-driven aromatics lead with cedar, star anise and dark plum showing remarkable clarity at nearly five decades. The palate flows with silky precision. Red fruit, tobacco leaf and earthy truffle notes supported by tannins that have melted into perfect integration. Orange zest brightens the long finish. Could easily hold another twenty years.
