"A simply exquisite nose of smoke, truffle and spice lead to deeply colored, mature, incredibly complex and powerful flavors supported by plenty of supporting acidity and a finish that lasts for minutes. The thick, dense flavors stain the palate and this is almost liqueur-like in its concentration yet there is no heaviness. The color concerned me at first but there is nary a hint of oxidation and while this is fully mature, it is holding so well that it should easily last another 15, perhaps 20 years. A genuinely great effort." (97pts Allen Meadows, Burghound, April 2007)
