Subtle hints of menthol and wood toast can be found on the spicy liqueur-like aromas of plum, cherry and cassis. There is once again fine verve and delineation to the stony medium weight flavors that deliver very good length if less complexity on the very firmly structured finale. This may well surprise to the upside if it can add more depth with time in bottle, which it definitely needs. (Drink starting 2030)
Saturated fruit flavors of black cherry and black currant are framed by toasty oak and dense tannins in this concentrated red. It's balanced and taut, with fine length that will bode well for its development. Best from 2022 through 2032.
Gentle woodsmoke and red cherry combine on the nose of this wine and continue on the bright body where fine, taut tannins carry the ripeness of the vintage with ease. Freshness emanates from a lively core, giving energy to this wine that shows real elegance.
