A rich and powerful red with astonishing roundness of tannins. On the nose the fruit is upfront with notes of plum, blackcurrant and a touch of mocha and dark chocolate. The wood is perfectly integrated. The silky and velvety tannins are followed by a very fresh and long aftertaste. A seductive wine even at this early stage with a great ageing potential.
Critic Ratings
Wine Spectator Review - Issue May 31, 2016 - Rated 92:
Elegant and richly spiced, with flavors of raspberry, red plum, currant and dark olive. Intense accents of dried green herb show midpalate, delivering forest floor and underbrush details on the zesty finish. Drink now through 2020. 1,800 cases made, 250 cases imported. — KM
James Suckling Review - Published November 17, 2015 - Rated 93:
This is a juicy, rich red that shows balance and intensity. Full body, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish of dried fruit, mushroom and dark chocolate. Drink or hold.
