Unfiltered. A very tight nose that only gave up dark berries. Initially this was quite austere up front. Then lots of spices and though not as much fruit as the 2008 Taylor's LBV the underlying structure was better. Plenty of dusty bold tannins and enough acidity showing late to help this age for the next decade or maybe two. The long finish brought forth chocolate and more dusty tannins and searing acidity. I must find more of this as I was impressed at it's showing.
