Discreet wood doesn't interfere with the clear expression of the equally liqueur-like nose that features attractively fresh notes of dark currant, violet, earth and a hint of tea. The notably sleeker and finer-textured medium-bodied flavors also display more evident minerality on the slightly less powerful but more elegant finish that delivers sneaky good length. This is sufficiently structured to require at least 7 to10 years of cellar time.
