This wine displays a deep ruby red color with subtle pomegranate reflections. Its aroma is distinct, elegant, expansive, and enduring, revealing notes of vanilla, cherry, raspberry, and licorice. On the palate, it is dry, warm, velvety, finely structured, and leaves a lasting impression.
The nose is sweet and comforting, with aromas of vanilla, cherry blossom, wild strawberry and orange peel. The palate brings the more playful sweetness of cherries, strawberries and chocolate vanilla swirl, but a hot streak of acid and a spiced finish provide balance.
Deep, dark flavors of plum, blackberry, black cherry and tar are embraced by woolly tannins in this powerful red. Feels wilder than most from 2020, with elements of wild herbs and forest floor. There's a core of ripe fruit that's locked up for now. Best from 2028 through 2043.
