Opening with a strong floral bouquet, the wine soon adds nuances of fennel, black cherries, plums, chocolate, oceanic influences, coffee beans and spice. Full-bodied, silky, fresh, vibrant and polished, the finish delivers a complex ending packed with crushed rocks, dark chocolate, deep red pit fruits and a touch of licorice and sea salt on the sensuously-textured, backend. Drink from 2025-2050.

Aromas of blackberry, flowers, licorice, plum and dark chocolate come to the surface easily. On the palate the wine is soft, silky, polished and fresh, with the cut of minerality and salty tannins. You find length, complexity, richness and sensuous textured in the long finish. Make sure you give this 7-9 years to develop. The wine is produced from 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, 14.81% ABV. 95-97
