One of the best and most impressive wines I have ever tasted of any kind. Fortunately, I have tasted it often and have always enjoyed it totally. The corks were exceptionally good and hermetic and allowed this incredible to age serenely. The garnet color is still intense and has only a few orange reflections. The bouquet is pyrotechnic with scents of pipe tobacco (Clan) while with breathing come those of shag Toscani cigar tobacco. These are followed by infinite scents of underbrush, fine mushrooms, bark and fallen autumn leaves. The note of tar and strong spice, freshly ground juniper, is evident as is the saline note in the mouth with its unreal tension, silky texture and timeless austerity.
