Ripe-fruit aromas with plums, flowers and sweet cherries. Lavender undertones. Full-bodied with firm, tight tannins that are fine-grained and very pretty. Good drive and intensity. A little tight now. Better after 2024.

Rose-petal, new leather, camphor and pine-forest aromas are front and center on this lithe, elegant red. Medium bodied and loaded with finesse, the almost ethereal palate features pomegranate, blood orange, star anise and rusty nail alongside taut, polished tannins. Bright acidity keeps it vibrant. Drink through 2028.
