Baked earth and dried herbs dominate the nose, with warm spices and concentrated red fruit emerging in the glass. The wine shows considerable evolution for its age. Tannins have melted away and the aromatics suggest peak maturity. There's appealing savory complexity, but drink soon as the structure is softening rapidly. Best through 2029.
