Cellaring potential: Best from 2024 to 2038.

Early 2022 tasting note by James Molesworth: "Saturated with notes of cassis, plum paste and blackberry puree, as well as pronounced accents of graphite, black licorice and sweet tobacco. Very concentrated, it moves slowly, with a nice cut to the finish despite its weight. - JM."
