Serious on all accounts, with notable, richness and freshness.
Barrel-fermented and aged in new oak, it offers terrific notes of cassis, liquorice, toasted spice and hints of chocolate to go with a medium to full-bodied, layered, concentrated, and beautifully fresh feel on the palate. It’s absorbed almost all of its oak élevage, and while certainly a great drink today, I suspect it will still be drinking nicely at age 10.
