Nose

An outrageous smokey nose with a palate of dense black fruits.

Palate

Super concentrated. Reminiscent of roasted squab on toast. Long, silky yet BIG finish. Style is showy and ostentatious. Exceptionally concentrated with low acid and fully ripe fruit.

Harvest

The fully ripe grapes were picked at 24 to 25 brix from a small handful of prestigious vineyards.

Winemaking

Aged in new Taransaud Bordeaux barrels for 16 months.

Aging

This wine is unfined and unfiltered.

Appearance

A dense deep purple hue.
