The level of wine in the bottle was a tad low but still reached the neck and while the cork broke during opening it was still in good condition. The wine had a truly typical color with an edge that was orange but not too much so. The impact of the aroma was decidedly tarry but this little by little dissipated to leave room for notes of fruit, spice, dark flowers, perhaps violet, and at the end there was a lovely balsamic sensation. The mouthfeel was lively, taut and fresh with tannins that were as silky as they were elegant, all leading to a long and multifaceted and persistent finish. A bottle that was truly, incredibly good.
