Product Description
WS97 "This shows some noticeable maturity at first, with black tea and mulling spice notes out front, but there's a lovely spine of briary tannins and finely beaded acidity that pulls this back to a fresher side as the core of raspberry p?te de fruit slowly wakes up, throwing off additional cherry, currant and plum nuances. By the time this all knits through the finish, you realize it's just a bit too soon to open this beauty. " JM for WS 2016
JA96 "A major vintage, where the tough spring gave way to a beautiful summer. Here it's the Cabernet Franc that's dominant, giving lift and aromatic complexity that seems to take a hold as it rolls through the palate. Raspberry leaf, blackcurrant and liquorice are all dominant. It's still extremely young, so you can take your time opening any bottles that you have of this beautiful wine." JA for DR Sep 2018
JS96 "Vibrant cassis on the nose with a balsamic, dried eucalyptus-leaf note (an indicator of the 20% cabernet franc), as well as cedar wood. Amazing depth, mixing mint, chocolate and eucalyptus. The attack is dense, with medium to full body and abundant licorice-candy flavors, silky tannins and mid-palate extraction. Yet, it’s full of grace and delicacy." JS Jun 2024
