The bouquet highlights aromas and flavors of dark plum, blackberry nectar, and aromatic herbs, enriched with notes of coffee and cocoa. Its majestic character explodes on the palate, dense yet fresh, characterized by noble and powerful tannins and a hint of violet. The finish is long and clean, with a hint of minerality that enhances its characteristics of liveliness, power, and clarity. Pair with complex red meat-based preparations such as stews, braised and braised meats, game birds and feathered game, long-aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ejs94\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis intense and layered with ripe dark fruit, sweet spices, chocolate and graphite as well as some earthy and tarry undertones.

It's silky-smooth with a pretty inner sweetness balanced by zesty acidity and tart wild berry fruits as a mineral tinge adds traction toward the close. This tapers off long and staining with grippy tannins, leaving licorice and clove hints. While quite intense and verging on opulent, balance is expertly maintained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEric Guido, July 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ews92\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lovely, expressive red, with rich flavors of blackberry coulis, black licorice, cocoa powder and Earl Grey tea leaf, this is elegant and well-balanced.
