Product Description
DR96 "The weather during flowering was relatively poor, followed by a long, cool season. The colour remains a lovely ruby with just a touch of bricking at the rim. The aromatics are subtle and inviting, with notes of dusty minerals, red-toned fruits, straw, dried sage, a hint of spicy maple-cured charcuterie, and leather. The wine is pure and precise on the palate, with fine, perfectly integrated, black tea-like tannins. Nuances of black truffle, loamy earth, and red currants add layers of complexity. It’s a striking, complex, and fantastic wine at 25 years of age, showcasing impressive freshness and energy." JC for DR Oct 2024
