Wonderful sweetness with old vine aromas mixing with dirt and rocks, black pepper, smoke, ripe and obviously mature fruit, with a touch of volatile acidity noticeable; sweet, smooth and ripe in the mouth; this is now a fully mature Bordeaux loaded with ripe fruit that has elemental flavors of cassis and blackberry juice while at the same time introducing earthen and very basic flavors to the mix; soft, dry acidity that is nicely integrated; more citrus at the finish.
