This is quietly packed with cassis, fresh plum and raspberry reduction notes, carried by a chalky minerality that acts as spine while notes of anise, applewood and warm earth create a backdrop on the finish. Tightly wound, but the finishing kick of fruit is impressive, and bodes well for cellaring. Best from 2024 through 2038.

Vivid ruby. A complex, spice-accented bouquet displays cherry cola, cassis and floral oil scents. Expressive, appealingly sweet red and dark berry and bitter cherry flavors are complemented by hints of baking spices and smoky minerals. Shows fine definition and spicy lift on a long, gently tannic finish that strongly echoes the floral note. Drink 2024-2034
