Tasting Notes
- Nose: Aromas of dark berries, cigar wrapper, exotic spices, and burning embers.
- Palate: Medium to full-bodied, fleshy, and layered, with lively acidity and a long, saline, violet-inflected finish.
- Finish: Persistent and elegant, with a balance of rich fruit and minerality.
Accolades
- Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points – "A firm structure and dark tannins give this wine a solid backbone. It has the weight and richness to support the tannins, with a juicy black-currant flavor."
- Jeb Dunnuck: 94 Points – "Ripe currants, cassis, damp earth, graphite, and crushed stone-like minerality define the bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, with a focused, pure texture, expansive richness on the mid-palate, and ripe, building tannins."
Optimal Drinking Window
This wine is expected to develop beautifully with age and is best enjoyed from 2025 through 2040.
