Tasting note

This dry cherry-red coloured wine features medium woody, empyreumatic, spicy, floral and fruity scents and offers a broad texture as well as smooth tannins.

Firm and well-structured, with a ripe, rich, concentrated mix of wild berry, blueberry and strawberry flavors, with scents of wild flowers. Full-bodied, complex and layered on the finish.

Deep scarlet color; out of the gate, aromas of cinnamon, cranberry and a hint of ginger tease for a taste. The palette turns into Christmas in the mouth...sweet baking spices and tart berries, even a hint of roasted meat. Throughout the experience a plush weight fills the mouth. The merging of flavors, viscosity and a lively acidity round out the long, sinuous finish.

A rich, extracted style that's dense, but also very complex and detailed, with spicy berry flavours that fan out nicely while retaining their focus, gaining depth on the finish. Best from 2012 through 2019. Wine Spectator, 92 pts
