"Wow, just wow! This wine has incredible purity and structure that has held up fantastically. It is mouthwatering and supple yet mature and soft thanks to its time in the bottle. An aged Bordeaux blend just doesn't get much better than this. While this wine is drinking well now, it will benefit from additional cellaring, best enjoyed in the next 3-10 years." - Cristie Kerr
Tasting Notes
Intense aromatics of black cherry, blackberry, and fresh fennel are paired with ink, balsamic and brambly characters. A gorgeous silky entry leads to cassis and dark blueberry notes with soft, elegant tannins reminiscent of cacao that linger for several minutes. This wine is just now approaching its prime and will continue to develop beautifully over the coming years.
