dense and rich dark berries

The quality of the grape and nature of the aging process have dialed up the intricacy

and black truffle follow through to a medium body with chewy and fine tannins and a very structured finish

There is a level of precision and nuance here that is simply breathtaking

This has acceptably energy though I wouldn't recommend aging it for more than a few years

It has a moderate 13. 28% alcohol and a velvety mouthfeel. It's from old vines and was fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and kept in tank for two to three months. 92 Pts Wine Advocate
