Iconic. Rich blackberry and plum preserves, cassis and lifted floral notes. What a treat.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Petty aromas of fresh blackberries, dark cherries, leather, earth, floral and a touch of spice. This possesses a beautiful soft, velvety texture and great finesse. Will be approachable early.

Medium ruby color with slightly garnet rim. Dark berry and plum on the nose. Medium acid, tannins are softened but still present. It benefited from decanting. Tastes like dark fruit, dark chocolate, graphite, reminded me of some Bordeaux bottles.

Integrated, evolved and complex...everything you wish for in a great wine. Developed notes of dark fruit, woods and tobacco. A wine to be enjoyed over for hours with an interesting companion.
