1.5L were used as offering during the beef sacrament that took place at the annual meeting of the minds at The House of Prime (SF). Great depth and concentration while also offering lifting blue fruit and balanced acidity to support the feast of feasts.

Inky ruby. Spicy, exotically perfumed aromas of cassis, cherry compote, potpourri and incense are complicated and lifted by a smoky mineral quality. Sappy, sweet and expansive in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated but energetic bitter cherry, blueberry, olive and star anise flavors that deepen on the back half. The floral note comes back strong on a strikingly long, seamless, dark-fruit-driven finish that shows just a hint of harmonious tannins. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Apr 2017)
