This elegant, well-structured wine shows aromas and flavors of red cherries and spice. It should be given 5 years in the bottle before opening, and will mature for up to 20 years. Pair with not-too-spicy sauces on filet mignon, rich pork or game birds.
Though ripe, this is also unyielding, with dark fruit flavors of black cherry, blackberry and earth under the grip of formidable tannins. Finishes with a compressed feel, but it also delivers a sensation of latent fruit ready to emerge. Best from 2026.
