"33% stems. A perfumed, airy and elegant nose offers up notes of essence of red currant, dried flowers, anise and clove along with an abundance of warm earth. There is excellent purity to the delicious, intense and sleekly muscular flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins, all wrapped in a long and mouth coating finish that displays just the barest hint of rusticity. I very much like this generous yet refined effort.
