A blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Malbec, and 20% Merlot that spent nine-and-a-half years in old casks, this wine has already developed an attractive bouquet of undergrowth, dried red fruit, herbs, potpourri, olives and truffle plus a hint of coconut. Gentle on the palate, it is well-integrated and full of flavor. The fine tannins make for a silky passage, leading to a lengthy, bouquet-driven finish. An unusual wine.

Rich, savory, black tea, smoke, cedar, and tobacco with some black plum notes on the nose; palate is lifted yet dense, tobacco leaf, spices, and a touch of anise, ever so slightly hot

Pretty timeless. Aged beautifully. Cedary, classic aged Bordeaux profile. Still fruit holding on and classy texture for 26 years old.
