Red dry
Rich violet in colour, brimming with layers of complex and profound aromas of crème de cassis, black cherry, smoked meat, graphite and crushed stone. The wine reveals a full body, a remarkably concentrated mid-palate, an abundance of ripe tannins with integrated acidity, and a strikingly long-lasting finish.
Serve at 16–18 °C with game stew, beef steak or aged cheeses.
Enticing aromas of currant, crushed stone, blueberry, lead pencil, iodine and graphite follow through to a full body with round, chewy tannins that are polished and powerful, yet balanced and beautiful. In the end, the tannins are compact and tight at the finish. But you want to drink it. Try after 2027, when it will open.
