Purple with a beautiful nose, medium plus of blackberry, menthol, plums, blueberry, herbs, leather and earth. Full body, medium-to-medium intensity and medium acidity. Palate matching with loads of blue and black fruits. Balanced and in need of at least 5-7 years. 92-93pts.

Definitely needs some time, but over the course of a few hours it was getting better and better as the brighter fruits subsided to the more complex dark fruits. Very enjoyable now, but of course will hold the rest. I'm on a three year per bottle spread right now... I'll probably keep that going. 93 pts
