Dense waves of cassis, espresso and iron surge through with remarkable power. Rose petals, mint and graphite weave through the core, building in intensity rather than revealing themselves all at once. The structure remains formidable. This needs serious cellaring to integrate those muscular tannins. Decant generously if drinking now, though 2026+ will show far better. Built for decades.
