Darkest transparent red --- Nose shy and elegant, some cherries, some minty notes --- Palate fresh, watery, tons of sour cherry, some orange zest, some bark, hint of cinnamon, even citrus aspects --- Finishes on dusty tannins, red fruit flashing back and elegant tartness. Oh yes, this is fine vine in an early stage and delightful already. Classy, tasty while promising great future. 93 for now, could go up to 96 in 3-5 years.

Deep, dark reddish-purple; essentially opaque in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & black cassis with overtones of earthy/dusty & dark cocoa notes, floral notes of violets, spices, herbs, coffee, minerals, some balsamic notes & a hint vanilla. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush & unctuous, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with dark cocoa, spices, earthy, minerals, herbs, vanilla & a hint of oak/vanilla. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting and extended airing but develop further with additional aging. An indicative blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Petit Verdot. A wonderful wine!

Lush, ripe red and black fruits but the finish is a little wanting. Moderate intensity nose and palate. Pure fruit, no noticeable oak. Fine, nicely textured tannins.
