Dense garnet in the glass. On the nose it’s restrained, with cinnamon, sweet violets, cherry pits and a balsamic whiff. The attack is full, with a dense palate that’s powerful yet velvety. The crisp, refined tannins are long. with deliciously integrated acidity. Great balance and concentration. Best after 2030.

An intense version, with a solid backbone of tannins and fresh acidity defining its cherry, raspberry, iron, menthol and spice flavors. Vibrant and peppery, showing fine energy and a long, resonant finish. Offers superb balance and expression. Best from 2027 through 2047. 500 cases made, 50 cases imported.
