Inky dark and saturated, with scads of glycerine, a serious young wine. Erupts with cascades of white pepper, violets, cassis, plum pudding, rum, molasses, sweet kid leather, root beer and more.

Decant if you open it now; should gain additional complexities in the next eight years. Editors' Choice.
