Though this red is well-oaked, theres also volume and flesh embracing the macerated cherry, plum, blood orange, eucalyptus and mineral notes. Finds equilibrium between the flavors, texture and structure, lingering with an aftertaste of oak spice. Best from 2029 through 2047. 253 cases made, 127 cases imported.
