Bramble berries, vanilla and a hint of black pepper.
Flavorful black cherry, fresh plum, currant and a hint of crushed stone. Showing polished tannins that are at once restrained and balanced, this is a wine of refined elegance and grace, immensely enjoyable now but with the structure to grow even more lovely in the years to come.
29 months, 100% new French oak barrels
