Deep garnet-purple colored, this majestic library release offers up a plethora of fresh garden herbs and well balanced fruit flavors including blueberries, crushed blackcurrants and hints of of lavender, violets, and stargazer lilies on the bouquet. The velvety smooth and rich texture features fine tannins, spectacular depth of dark fruit notes, and a lengthy finish (45 seconds long) that bodes well for enjoyment for 3 – 5 more years. After a little cellar time, the silky tannins on the finish glide effortlessly and will provide thrills tonight through 2031. Bravo!
