Cognac nose, with raisiny spicy scents. Vibrant youthful berries on the palate, even after decanting. Visually display of aging in the oranging of the color. A best buy for aging wines and showcasing the region’s elegance.

Vibrantly youthful and spicily berried. BEAUTIFUL. Drinks far much younger than one would presume. Kicks the ass of the pandemic years!
