The wine displays a deep ruby hue in the glass. You will first notice enticing aromas of fresh raspberry and wild thyme. These scents evolve beautifully into complex notes of cinnamon spice and cured tobacco after air contact. The palate offers a harmonious balance of cassis, black cherry, and plum. Polished, velvety tannins provide a structured yet refined texture that lingers on a long, elegant finish.
The winemakers used an optic sorter to ensure only the highest quality berries reached the fermentation tanks. This process resulted in incredible color density and flavor concentration. Consider pairing this vintage with slow-braised oxtail or a grilled beef sirloin to complement its savory spice.
