The pale topaz/amber color is dazzling. There are traces of spice, oak (sawdust, plank), herbs, over-ripe grapes, grape must and pepper is this highly complex bouquet. Entry is surprisingly spicy and vivid, then the midpalate turns creamy, oily and resiny. A classic beauty. Excellent, highly recommended. 92 points.
