Elegant, well-structured mouthfeel, with cherries, rich chocolate, black pepper and vibrant plum flavors filling the palate. Very supple, with fine texture and firmstructure, giving an immediately approachable richness. The finish is a seamless continuation of fruit and cocoalike tannins. 92 Points Dense crimson hue.

My absolute favorite bottle to sip and relax. No need to pair with a meal, it is one in itself.

A very nice Bordeaux blend - went perfectly with my venison steak. Super silky smooth on the palate, with traditional hints of tobacco and leather supported by a well-balanced base.
