A firm, solid red with blackberry, black-licorice and stone aromas and flavors. It's medium-to full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Very well structured.

The 85% Merlot in this superrich wine is what has pushed up the alcohol. It does give a powerful, juicy character to the black-currant fruits. Against the wood and tannins, this wine has density and a full ripe character. Worth aging, this fine, dense wine will be ready from 2026. Organic.

Bright, with damson plum and bitter cherry fruit notes pierced with light savory and tobacco hints. A subtle chalk spine carries the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
