A beautifully aromatic nose reveals layers of ripe red berry fruit, with lifted notes of black cherry, blackberry, and red currant. Earthy nuances of black truffle, cedar, and vanilla add depth and complexity. The long, even growing season of 2018 allowed for extended hang time, enhancing the wine’s concentration and flavor development. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with rich, round tannins that provide both power and finesse. The finish is long and mouthwatering, with vibrant energy and a seamless integration of fruit, oak, and savory elements. This vintage is a testament to the near-perfect growing conditions of 2017, offering exceptional aging potential and remarkable depth.
