Rich and woven with cherry and red berry fruit, this red is elegant and beautifully balanced. Floral, mineral and spice notes augment the flavors, while the vibrant acidity and chalky tannins lend support. Excellent length. Best from 2026 through 2042.
Here too there is a deft application of wood to the pretty and perfumed nose of red currant, violet and an interesting hint of tangerine peel. As is usually the case, the mouthfeel of the beautifully delineated flavors is delicate, silky and refined yet with no lack of punch that carries over to the lightly stony, youthfully austere and balanced finale that is notably more complex. Lovely stuff with excellent development potential.
2.5 barrels, with no new wood. 15% whole bunch vinification. A pale mid crimson. Soft strawberry fruit on the nose. The palate offers quite a volume of fruit, a more austere raspberry alongside the strawberry, and some white pepper to finish. Even the small amount of whole bunch vinification makes its presence felt. A fresh finish with good length. Drink from 2026-2032.
