Wild cherry and exotic spice explode from the glass with magnificent intensity. Powerfully built yet graceful, showing remarkable depth without losing elegance. Savory herbs, dates and lingering warmth emerge on the expansive finish. Still tightly wound. Needs another five years to reach its peak. Drink 2030-2055.
