Wine Description

(From 2006 Vintage) Another 8 months in bottle seems to have resulted in a more expansive bouquet with notes of wood smoke, pencil lead, lavender, Asian spices, black cherry and blackberry. Rich, voluptuous, and lengthy on the palate, it is hard to resist now, but will continue to blossom for several more years and drink well through 2026.

Winemaker's Notes

Purpur-Granat. Tiefgründige Nase. Samtige Tannine im komplexen Gaumen. Viel Potenzial versprechendes Extrakt. Balance auf höchstem Niveau. Vielschichtiges Finale.
