Nose
The nose shows good restraint, plus red currant and black cherry fruit balanced by savory aromas of cedar, spice box, saddle leather, and Oscuro tobacco.
Palate
Firm and focused on the palate, this medium-bodied wine shows a solid core of cranberry and cherry fruit leading into flavors of cigar box, lavender, and pepper. Slightly chewy tannins and a fresh acid balance make this a great everyday Bordeaux for short term cellaring. Drink now - 2025.
Appearance
Instantly shows the medium viscosity and medium ruby-garnet color of a classic claret.
Food Pairing
Red meat & hard cheese.
