A super-intense and perfumed wine with aromas of freshly ground black pepper, smoke, forest floor and earthy minerality. Full-bodied, it show density and velvety tannins that are well tamed and integrated, with slightly leafy flavors and balancing acidity. There is a lot of freshness and even elegance in this wine. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Alluring and fragrant, this graceful red offers incense, iron and bay leaf aromatics that lead to a core of ripe black cherry and black currant fruit, with notes of cured tobacco and anise. Deftly integrates the power of sculpted tannins and a refreshing frame of acidity with supple texture, focus and length. Drink now through 2045. 6,300 cases made, 822 cases imported.
