A subtle but not invisible touch of wood sets off the very ripe aromas of cassis, black raspberry liqueur and discreet earth elements. The mouth coating and seductively suave medium-bodied flavors are quite round before firming up noticeably on the mildly warm finish. This is delicious and attractive already but there is enough structure to warrant allowing up to a decade of bottle aging. Vintage 2018 and 2020 90 points Burghound
