Nose

dense, crème de cassis and blackberry-scented nose with a hint of barbecue smoke and forest floor.

Palate

Tasting like a ripe vintage of Château Latour from Pauillac, the wine has amazing richness and a savory, expansive mouthfeel, but tiptoes across the palate like a ballerina.

Aging

97% French, 3% new Hungarian oak. 100% new.
