Product details
-
Aroma: The nose is extraordinarily perfumed and "ripe but fresh." Expect a bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, and pomegranate, layered with Indian spices, orange rind, and rose petals. As it opens, deeper notes of crushed stone, wet earth, and graphite emerge.
-
Palate: On the entry, the wine is supple and "sleek." It is medium-to-full-bodied with a waxy, concentrated fruit core. Flavors of blackberry preserve and clove are enmeshed with a cooling mineral streak.
-
Structure: It features powdery, fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity that prevents the 2018 warmth from feeling heavy. It is often described as "aristocratic"—powerful yet weightless.
-
Finish: A long, resonant finish defined by red berry fruit, white pepper, and a touch of savory graphite.
