Taste
Lush aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, and quince rise from the glass, accented by layers of baking spice, cocoa, and subtle oak. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and bold, showcasing vibrant purple fruit and a distinct mineral edge. A long, structured finish suggests excellent aging potential.

The careful aging regimen, including French and American oak, reflects the winery’s dedication to balance, nuance, and cellar-worthy structure. Bottled in June 2023, this 27th edition continues the tradition of producing exceptional estate-driven reds.
