This wine displays the delicious flavor of ripe herbs and minerality reminiscent of a classic Margaux style wine. The enticing aromas of fully developed black fruits are framed by mature leather and tobacco notes. Very complex in the mouth with a wonderful combination of lush, rich textures and layers of cassis, black cherry, black currant and mocha flavors. Fantastic balance with a long, complex finish where the nuances of mineral and earth flavors linger along with cinnamon and nutmeg.
21 months in ‘Reserve’ French Oak Barrels.
Suggested food pairings: New York Steak cooked over an open oak grill, Fillet Mignon with shallots and cognac, and Beef Bourguignon. Bittersweet Chocolate Souffle’.
