Product Info

TASTING NOTES:

This cuvée has a very energetic and intense feel with a wealth of fresh and attractive red cherries and raspberries, plenty of florals and subtle herbal, forest-wood and light-chocolate notes. There’s a very keenly articulated feel to the palate with a plush, very fleshy and assertively long, detailed finish. Deep fruit presence here. Drink across the next decade.
James Suckling, 95 pts

Vivid red. Expansive aromas of ripe red berries, candied flowers and baking spices, with a smoky mineral topnote that gains strength as the wine opens up. Coats the palate with appealing sweet raspberry and cherry liqueur flavors that tighten up and become spicier on the back half. Shows excellent clarity and floral lift on an impressively long finish that's shaped by fine-grained, even tannins.
Vinous, 93 pts

This delivers lightly spicy cherry fruit in a swath of milk chocolate. Two-thirds of the barrels were new, and half the ferment included whole clusters. Balanced throughout, it finishes with an astringent tea leaf note.
