The palate is delicious straight out of bottle open for hour or two. It is lush and rich. Fruit of, blackberries, black plum, plum, boysenberries, dark cherries, raspberries and hints of blueberries. Black cherry cola/licorice, touch of tar and anise, soft sandalwood, herbal notes, light, fresh mint, forest floor, dark chocolate, caramel, dry top soil, moist clay, soft and faint limestone minerals, lavender and violets for days mixed with dark red florals. The acidity is magnificent. There is great balance and length. The finish beautiful mixed ripe fruits, excellent florals and lasts minutes. Delicious! This is showing well today and will be hard to resist opening now, but patience will be rewarded. This one still has not closed down in bottle yet. This is the only one I bought. Hard to resist.
