Layers of aromas include blue flower, rose, baking spices, sandalwood and perfumed berry. These follow through to flavors of crushed red cherry, cinnamon, white pepper and thyme. Made from vines that are more than 60 years old, it's impeccably balanced with freshness and big, velvety tannins. Hold for complexity. Drink 2016–2033. Polaner Selections, Louis/Dressner Selections.
