Intense and complex on the nose, there’s a lovely interplay between sweet and savory aromatics. The palate carries similar complexity, with the soil-type evident in underlying minerality wrapped around a red-fruited core, complimented by chocolate notes and a decadent plumpness. Formidable structure yet balanced tannins round out with herbal/floral freshness and lasting savory persistence.

“Super refined. Plum, citrus peel and tobacco leaf with some graphite sprinkled into the mix. Incredibly fine tannins and a lavender-like finish. Great!” International Wine and Spirits Competition
“The nose starts fruity, with fresh cherries and wild strawberries, but a leathery, spicy savoriness emerges over time. On the palate, the spice bounces around a citrus note that underscores a deeper red fruitiness, until imposing tannins put up the velvet ropes and usher in a dark chocolate richness.” 92 points, Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast
“Savory and meaty with aromas of cassis, currants, oregano, wet leather and spice box. Full-bodied, with firm and chewy tannins. Nice earthy and meaty undertones. Better after 2024.” 92 points, James Suckling
