Reviews

This has a regal feel with a wealth of ripe blueberries and a complex array of new leather, warm earth, terracotta and spice. The palate has concentration and depth with assertive, fine and long tannins delivering a long, unwavering impression on the palate, bathed in ripe red and dark-fruit flavors. Drink or hold.
Forest-floor, leather, menthol, black-skinned fruit and a whiff of French oak aromas shape the nose on this focused red. Savory and elegant, the taut palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, cranberry, star anise and tobacco set against tightly knit fine-grained tannins that need a few more years to unwind. Fresh acidity shores up the finish. *Cellar Selection*
