Production Details The vineyard was planted at 5,500 vines per hectare. Maturation was stated as 18–24 months with racking every three months, and production was listed as 8,300 cases. The sheet first describes 60% new French-oak barrels but then repeats that the wine spent 18–24 months in new-oak barrels; this internally inconsistent oak-proportion wording is retained and not normalized.
Tasting Notes Blackberry, cassis, violet, crushed raspberry, caramelization, tonka bean, vanilla, cornflower, cardamom, chocolate and tea; fruity, elegant, concentrated, acidulous, dense, fleshy and slightly creamy, with elegant, somewhat firm tannins.
Food Pairing Meat dishes including veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game and chicken, prepared roasted, braised, stewed or grilled.
