This wine spent extra time in bottle after 30 months in all-new French oak. The grapes were grown in volcanic soils on the eastern side of the appellation. Inviting flavors of earth and herb carry the rich and expansive palate, with lasting accents of iron, crushed rock, currant and violet lending depth. Best from 2026–2036.
92 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com
A character of ripe blueberries and blackberries, sweet vanilla, eucalyptus and pine wood. Full-bodied with viscous tannins, deep, savory fruit and warming mouthfeel. Slightly fluid at the end but holds together. Long finish with hints of minerality. Try from 2022.
