Deep, shimmering garnet. An expressive bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, vanilla and toasty oak. Appealingly sweet cassis and cherry cola flavors show very good depth and building vanilla and floral pastille nuances. Finishes smoky and long, with gently firming tannins, repeating florality and a lingering oak spice flourish. Sourced from 50-year-old vines and aged for two years in 70% French and 30% American oak barrels, all of them new.

Bright flavors of raspberry and cherry mingle with leafy and vanilla notes in this lively red. Juicy acidity and light, firm tannins give this focus. Polished and energetic. Drink now through 2023.
