Tasting notes
Ruby red color. On the nose balsamic hints, ripe red fruit, and violets. Juicy, savoury and mineral in the mouth with ripe tannins. Long and persistent finish.
"This spicy red is introduced with a blast of bright cherry fruit, along with strawberry, currant, eucalyptus and tobacco notes. Reveals an underlying mineral element, and dusty tannins present on the finish. All the components are there. Best from 2025 through 2043".–Bruce Sanderson
