  Vinho violeta, intenso e fechado. Brilhoso. Lágrimas abundantes e persistentes. No nariz frutas negras (ameixas) em compota. Notas mentoladas, anís/alcaçuz e de violeta e jasmin secos. Intensidade aromática média alta. Em boca tem ataque amplo e macio. As frutas negras se confirmam. Aromas de ameixas e groselhas sobremaduras em profusão. A madeira bem marcada traz notas de chocolate amargo e tons defumados. Taninos robustos, álcool integrado e doçura residual mínima, compõem um conjunto equilibrado, elegante, porém robusto (clama por um naco de carne de boa origem). Final longo e prazeroso. Vinho de alta qualidade.

  200% new oak for 36 months. Seems like they're going to slowly move away from that approach, and current vintages of the less $$$ wines from the estate using less oak. When will this wine be ready to drink? I mean the quality of fruit is there, but tough to really get to it with all that oak. could this be a candidate for a drinking window of 2022-2023? jk. Anyway, it's all in the bottle, you just gotta wait and see.

  Very dark inky purple with a black hue. Rich nose of dark plums and spice. Pretty light on its feat for being a big wine.
