8,000 bottles produced, 5-6 week maceration, 12 months in barrique of second and third passage. Smoky on the nose with a dark, hot tar and light toast initial aroma under which are fresh notes of green ivy and light vegetal tones but the wood is a bit too assertive and obscures the core of fruit 1+ Big and plush entry with finely integrated acid and nicely managed tannins 2+ Intense candied fruit flavors, slight violet pastille note, good oak contrast in the mouth as it doesn’t dominate the almost chewy fruit 2+ Zesty acids pop on the finish refreshing the mouth and adding length to the asphalt finish 2 86pts
