Description

Medium/full-bodied with a refined, elegant character. The tannins are soft, the smoked red fruits are sweet, ripe, earthy and on the finesse side, leaving with a beautiful cherry pipe tobacco and red berry finish. Even though this is on the forward side, it should age for at least 2 decades.

Serving recommendation

Serve at 16-18 °C with beef steaks, grilled lamb ribs or hard ripened cheeses.

Rating

Wine Enthusiast
This wine is dense, with concentrated spice plus rich white and kiwi fruits. Acidity is prominent, giving the wine impressive fruitiness and aging potential as suggested by the texture and wood flavors. Drink this beautifully ripe wine from 2022. Įvertinimas: 96

Wine Spectator
Ripe and full in feel, with a swath of cassis, plum paste and fig preserve flavors that holds sway from start to finish, allowing roasted apple wood, licorice snap and black tea accents to chime in along the way. The fruit takes a solid encore on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2036. Įvertinimas: 94

Falstaff
Deep dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate brightening of the rim and bouquet, ripe cherries, a hint of plums, subtle herbs and some fine wood. Firm, elegant, red berry and fresh, rich in finesse, rather a lightweight, harmonious, nougat in the aftertaste, will be young to drink, a multifaceted accompaniment to dishes.
