Aromas of ripe blackberries and plum skins with toasted walnut, spice box and dark chocolate. Some wet forest floor, too. Medium- to full-bodied with juicy dark fruit, firm tannins and a polished texture. Lingering finish. 55% cabernet sauvignon and 45% merlot. Beautiful now, but better give it a year or two.
The wine is rich and dense with already velvet textures. It has ripe black fruits layered with wood aging and a sophisticated tannins. This is obviously a wine to age further. Drink from 2027.
Solid, with kirsch and cassis notes melding with black licorice and roasted apple wood. Keeps a nice tarry feel through the dark finish.
