Fresh and plump, with juicy flavors of cherry,
raspberry, licorice, menthol and oak spice.
The oak doesn’t intrude, and this ends with
an aftertaste of black cherry, tar and mineral notes.
Best from 2014 through 2027.

Wine Spectator
“There’s a succulent, sweet element here that
resembles Christmas spice or cinnamon roll.
Behind that curtain of spice, concentration and
intensity are elegant tones of black licorice,
cassis, plum and toasted nut. Try this wine with
honey-roasted ham embedded with clove."

Wine maker notes
A garnet red colour with a delicate, appealing, intense bouquet, reminiscent of violets and dry roses, alcohol-soaked cherries, vanilla, tobacco, truffles and pepper. The taste is full, robust, austere but velvety and harmonious.
Food pairing
Red meats, pot roasts and gamebirds, ripe cheeses.
