Brilliant aromas of tangerine, beeswax, chamomile and wet stone combine with our signature floral scent reminiscent of honeysuckle and jasmine. Pink grapefruit, pear and apricot expand out over the rich, viscous, mid-palate. Though surprisingly well integrated in its youth, the concentration and vibrant structure of this wine suggest an extremely good vintage for aging in the cellar. Decant on to two hours before serving.
There is a sweet-savory quality to the aromas with the black cherry fruit being complemented by scents of juniper berries, orange peel, teriyaki and forest floor. The flavors are a little more dark and ripe with flavors of blueberry, plum and cocoa as well as brandied cherries. Ample mouth-coating tannins have a gentle, velvety quality, but leave no doubt that this will be a very long- lived wine. Decanting one to two hours before serving is recommended.
